Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This is possible to do, however not sure why you would want to sort the items using a URL parameter when we have the option to have frontend sorting control.

Perhaps providing a bit more details will allow me to understand your exact use case a little better because as it stands it would be more efficient to use the frontend sorting controls that our views search provides.

Thanks,
Shane

Please believe me, we want to do it with URL-parameter, not with frontend. So please how can we do it?

Thank you 🙂

Hello,

It can be tricky to achieve this however our views plugin accept these items as parameters in the url for sorting.
<codE>

wpv_sort_orderby
wpv_sort_order
[/php]

The orderby parameter should have the slug of the field, the sort_order should specify whether it is ASC or DESC.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
