Sort Posts in Alphabetic Order option

    There re any number of plugins that claim to do this but it seems to me that an option to sort the All Posts table alphabetically by default would be useful as a native feature.

    I often find myself repeatedly sorting the table. A sticky option would be a real help

    Thanks for listening

    Yes, thank you for the link.

    My suggestion was that since this is such an obvious and basic requirement it would be good to see it supported NATIVELY in WordPress. ??

    Yes WordPress support it . It depend upon you , How do you query . If you write like this. It will work for you .

    $args = array(
    'orderby' => 'title',
    'order'   => 'ASC',
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

    Thanks

    Hi and thanks for that.

    I m sorry that I didn’t make myself clearer. When I said NATIVELY I meant out-of-the-box without having to install a plugin or write any code.

    I just want to be able to click on the headings in ALL Posts and see an option to Sort Alphabetically (ascending / descending)

    Regards

    I looked at the WP Alphabet Listing plugin and it doesn’t do what I want.

    The plugin lets you order your content alphabetically so your USERS see it that way. My content needs to be presented in a logical sequence that is not alphabetical.

    What I want to do is to simply be able to sort the All Posts grif / table

    You can do quick alphabetic sorting by clicking on the Up/Down arrows on the Title column header. You can also sort it by click on the header on the Last Modified column, Featured Image column and the Comments column – though I’m not sure how it sorts the last one, since I don’t currently have comments enabled.

    Though I do wish you could factor in the pinned post idea, into he All Posts table. I keep what I call Sandbox posts, that I use to build new posts in a specific section of my site. I use a clone/duplicating plugin to copy the content, on-page navigation links, category, etc. of the Sandbox post into a new post, to create uniformity in that section of my site. If I could pin those, so they stay on top even when I’m sorting other ways, it would be nice. As it stands now, I do sort alphabetically and name them _Sandbox…
