I am trying to: I created a custom post type called Instructors (to list our Instructors) - I would like to see the Instructors on a page in Order by the Title field - which is actually their name.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I have also just cloned the site here... to use for testing purposes. hidden link

I expected to see: the list in order by the title field. I am using the theme options for the display of this page but the Instructors only seem to appear in the order that I entered them in (with the last one showing up first and the first one I entered showing up last. I have changed the theme options to order by title, then tried by date, then tried by menu order(changing the menu on a few of them) = no changes in the order

Instead, I got:

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - as you are using WordPress standard archive to change the archive post order, you need to use "pre_get_posts" action.

I've added following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_sort_order'); 
function my_change_sort_order($query){
        if(is_post_type_archive('instructor')){
         //If you wanted it for the archive of a custom post type use: is_post_type_archive( $post_type )
           //Set the order ASC or DESC
           $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
           //Set the orderby
           $query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
		} 
}

Now, I can see the posts are order ASC and order by title.
