    I got one page template that has a wp_query loop ordered by menu_order that work just great, and i have another loop ordered by date, that doesn’t work…

    Order by menu (ok)
    $the_query1 = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post','orderby' => 'menu_order','order' => 'ASC') );

    Order by date (not working)
    $the_query2 = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post','orderby' => 'date','order' => 'ASC') );

    I’ve also tryed using post_date instead of date, but still no luck!

  • Hi uiii,

    I’m seeing similar behaviour.

    If i adjust my custom query loop to sortby date. It WILL sortby date HOWEVER it always sorts ascending – rather than the wordpress default of descending.

    If i specify the order to ‘DESC’ – it is ignored and still sorted asc.

    I have disabled the plugin, and the query parameters are acknowledged again..

    Ok, i fixed it!
    simple-custom-post-order.php line 351

    $wp_query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ );

    to

    $wp_query->set( ‘order’, ‘DESC’ );
