[Resuelto] Custom post order

I have post types created with Toolset.

The default WordPress Posts post type are listed in wp-admin All Posts with the newest post first by default.

This is perfect.

But the post types we've created with Toolset (e.g. 'Resources" post type) they're listed alphabetically by default.

I know that I can reorder every time I load the page, but is there any way to have them listed by newest post first be default please?

Note that this is specifically about the display of All Posts in wp-admin, not the display of posts on the front end of the website itself.

Thank you for your time.

Andrew.

Hi there

All posts, whether they are WordPress Posts or custom posts, are normally listed by date, but at the top of the page you can click the column heading to order by Title (or something else if there are other columns displayed).

I suspect you clicked to order by Title, and can revert to ordering by date by clicking the Date column header.

Hi.

I said in my question that I know they can be re-ordered by clicking the heading title.

That is not my question.

The custom post types created with Toolset are by default ordered alphabetically. Not by date. So every time an admin on the site loads the page they have to re-order by clicking the date title.

Then next load, they are ordered alphabetically again.

This should not be.

They should be ordered by date by default – as you yourself say.

I need help in fixing that please.

Best wishes,
Andrew.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What Nigel shared is correct. I'm not sure why you are getting title as default sort order.

Here is a sandbox site and you can auto-login to it using the following link:
- enlace oculto

If you check any custom post types created using Toolset, you will notice that the post type is set to order by Date by default. For instance:
- enlace oculto

If you see the header for column Date - the session listing is set to order by Date. Are you using any sort order add-on plugin?

Hi Minesh.

I know how it is meant to be. The point is that it was not behaving as it should.

I have been able to resolve the issue myself with some code in functions.php as follows:

function custom_posttype_admin_order($wp_query) {
if (is_admin() && $wp_query->get('post_type') == 'posttypeslug') {
$wp_query->set('orderby', 'date');
$wp_query->set('order', 'DESC');
}
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'custom_posttype_admin_order');

Very best wishes,
Andrew.

Ok great - you're welcome to mark this ticket resolve.

[andrewB-7]

I can't mark resolved without spending tome doing pointless ratings of the support. I should not be FORCED to do this and will not.

As shared details with my previous reply with the details of the sandbox site - I do not see the issue.

We are not forcing you to close the issue but I thought you found workaround and you want to keep that as I do not see the issue with the sandbox site.

Did you check the sandbox site? Have you able to see the issue with the sandbox site? If no - then there must be something that should be overriding the order or you should send me the exact steps that I should follow to see the issue on the sandbox site I shared.

[andrewB-7]

For goodness sake.

I told you the issue is resolved because I fixed it myself.

I even pasted the code here that fixed the issue in case anyone else in future has the same issue.

I am telling you I am unable to mark the ticket resolved because your system only allows me to do so by giving ratings.

I won't do that.

Mark it resolved if you want.

I won't be commenting again.

The issue is fixed with workaround.
