Hello, I have a default ordering enabled which orders all post by a custom field on the product archive page.

The custom field order is the default order however when I search I want to search all posts according to their post date.

Do you know what I mean?

The search should include &wpv_sort_orderby=post_date and ignore the default custom field ordering.

Do you know how I can do this?

Regards,
Nick

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - to override the ordering for post type archive - you should use the WordPress standard function pre_get_posts().

For example - please try to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

function func_orderby_postdate($query) { 
    if ($query->is_post_type_archive('product ') && $query->is_main_query()) {
    $query->set('order', 'ASC');
     $query->set('orderby', 'post_date');
    }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'func_orderby_postdate');
