Post Management, sort posts in backend

  • Hi,

    i’m looking for a way to manage posts in WP backend, like sorting posts by metadata or filter the view by category…

    i can’t believe there’s no way to do it, maybe you know a plugin (i didn’t find one)

    Ah, i see filtering is possible.
    but what about sorting?

    i use an event plugin that gives posts a timestamp (event date) as a custom field. now i’d like to sort all posts in backend by this metadata.

    any ideas?

    thanks,

    Not sure you can get there without modifying core files. The function wp_edit_posts_query in wp-admin/includes/post.php handles that and it looks like there is no filter on the orderby.

    Hi Michael, could u give me a hint how to access the posts metadata within this function?
    i just don’t get the right value for
    $orderby …
    i found
    get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'metakey', true );
    but it doesn’t work ??

    Hi again,

    would be great to get some help
    i’m trying
    wp("post_type=post&$post_status_q&posts_per_page=$posts_per_page&order=$order&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=MyValue");
    like in function reference in post.php but it doesn’t work.
    seems not to access metadata.
    orderby=post_title works.

    thanks in advance,

    I am also wanting to have posts appear in order by date, and they appear in alphabetical order by month ??
    Anyone know how I can fix that?

    It’s the Kurt’s Corner posts on this page, I need to reorder by date, not by the month spelling. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks ??

    i’m sorry shmrck1, but this tread is about ordering posts IN BACKEND (edit post list) not in frontend…
