i need sort results and for some reasons i don't want use views sorting controls

well there is a hook for views i'm using: wpv_filter_query
and i believe i can use ordering methods of wp_query
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters
with the $query_args parameter of the hook;

for example i'm doing this in callback_function:
$query_args["orderby"] = "title";
$query_args["order"] = "ASC";
return $query_args;

but it is not in use;

how can i change the orderby and order of a query using API?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please try to use following code and try to resolve your issue. The key thing here is that we need to set high priority for this hook.

function custom_ordering( $view_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
  
    if ( $view_id == 9999) { // edit the id
 
         $view_args['orderby'] = 'title';
        $view_args['order'] = 'ASC';
 
 
    }
   
    return $view_args;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'custom_ordering', 101, 3 );

Where:
- Replace 9999 with your original view id.
