Order by category ID, not by post date

  • Hello,

    this is my export function:

    <?php if ($post_ids) {
		global $wp_query;
		$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;  // Fake being in the loop.
		// fetch 20 posts at a time rather than loading the entire table into memory
		while ( $next_posts = array_splice($post_ids, 0, 20) ) {
			$where = "WHERE ID IN (".join(',', $next_posts).")";
			$posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT wposts.* FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'heberg' ORDER BY wpostmeta.meta_value DESC");
				foreach ($posts as $post) {
			// Don't export revisions.  They bloat the export.
			if ( 'revision' == $post->post_type )
				continue;
			setup_postdata($post); ?>

    i would like to make the posts order by category ID, how to do that?

    bye

    Trick is to get your categories with get_categories, then for each category then get/display the posts for each category. This examle prints a category title on each new category that you may not want…

    <?php
$cat_args=array(
  'orderby' => 'ID',
  'order' => 'ASC'
   );
$categories=get_categories($cat_args);
  foreach($categories as $category) {
    $args=array(
      'showposts' => -1,
      'category__in' => array($category->term_id),
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
    $posts=get_posts($args);
      if ($posts) {
        echo '<p>Category: <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </p> ';
        foreach($posts as $post) {
          setup_postdata($post); ?>
          <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
        } // foreach($posts
      } // if ($posts
    } // foreach($categories
?>
