Hi,

I want to make a selectbox on custom post archive page to choose sorting custom posts by date, price, custom field, ect. Do you have any solution?

Thanks

Dear Bao,

The query of wordpress archive page is defined by wordpress self, there isn't such a order by feature when you create a archive view.

You can try create a select menu to passing URL parameters to the archive page, and use wordpress action hook pre_get_posts to modify the query of archive page:

Hope it help
