Intuitive Custom Post Order

Description

Select sortable items from ‘Intuitive CPO’ menu of Setting menu in WordPress.
Intuitively, order items( Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies, Sites ) using a drag and drop sortable JavaScript.
Use parameters( orderby = menu_order, order = ASC ) in your theme.

You can also override the auto-converted parameters( orderby and order ).
ATTENTION: Only if you use ‘get_posts()’ to re-overwrite to the default order( orderby = date, order = DESC ), You need to use own custom parameter ‘orderby = default_date’.

How to re-override the parameters of ‘orderby’ and ‘order’

Sub query

By using the ‘WP_Query’, you can re-override the parameters.

WP_Query

<?php $query = new WP_Query( array(
    'orderby' => 'ID',
    'order' => 'DESC',
) ) ?>

get_posts()

<?php $query = get_posts( array(
    'orderby' => 'title',
) ) ?>

ATTENTION: Only if you use ‘get_posts()’ to re-overwrite to the default order( orderby=date, order=DESC ), You need to use own custom parameter ‘orderby=default_date’.

<?php $query = get_posts( array(
    'orderby' => 'default_date',
    'order' => 'DESC',
) ) ?>

Main query

By using the ‘pre_get_posts’ action hook or ‘query_posts()’, you can re-override the parameters.

pre_get_posts

function my_filter( $query )
{
    if ( is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() ) return;
    if ( is_home() ) {
        $query->set( 'orderby', 'date' );
        $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
        return;
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_filter' );

query_posts()

<?php query_posts( array(
    'orderby' => 'rand'
) ); ?>
