I want to order the post for a certain category by name. How can i do that?

I created a category-anime.php file and copied the content from category.php

anime is the category name.

<?php

/**

* The category archive template file

*

* @package Graphene

* @since Graphene 1.1.5

*/

get_header();

?>



<h1 class="page-title archive-title">

<?php

printf(__('Category Archive: <span>%s</span>', 'graphene'), single_cat_title('', false));

?>

</h1>



<?php graphene_tax_description(); ?>



<?php

/**

* Run the loop for the category page to output the posts.

* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file

* called loop-category.php and that will be used instead.

*/

while ( have_posts() ) {

the_post();

get_template_part( 'loop', 'anime' );

}



/* Posts navigation. */

graphene_posts_nav();

?>



<?php get_footer(); ?>

then i created a loop-anime.php and copied the content from loop.php.

What do i need to change in the loop to order my posts by name?

I need an answer.

Is it possible to order the posts by their title?

If yes, how?

Add this,

global $query_string;

query_posts( $query_string . '&order=ASC' );

right before

while ( have_posts() ) {

Thanks for your reply.

Still your code is missing something: ‘&orderby=title

global $query_string;

query_posts( $query_string . '&orderby=title&order=ASC' );

How can i do the same for loop.php?

I tried adding the code but it’s not working.

Have you refreshed your browser and server caches?

If i use the code in the loop i get 2 unique posts with the second post being repeated several times

Remove those custom category-anime.php and loop-anime.php files. Insert this code into your child theme’s functions.php file instead:

/**

* Sort posts in certain category archives according to post title

*/

function my_sort_archive_by_title( $query ){

if ( $query->is_archive() && $query->is_main_query() ) {



/* Argument to is_category() is an array of the IDs of the

categories whose posts should be sorted by post title */

if ( is_category( array( 1, 9 ) ) ) {

$query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );

$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );

}

}

}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_sort_archive_by_title' );
