The changelog for Types 3.3.11 says:-

We’ve extended the toolset_get_related_posts() arguments by “orderby_role” which allows to specify by which role the ordering should happen (when the “order” argument is used). If the “orderby_role” argument is not present, the behavior doesn’t change and the first of the returned roles is used for ordering.

toolset_get_related_posts retrieves Custom Posts and orderby_role sorts retrieved Users by role. Posts don't have roles so I don't understand how it's possible to sort Posts by role or am I missing something??

Hello,

The argument "orderby_role" is for roles of post type relationship, it's value is same as argument query_by_role:
- parent
- child
- intermediary

See our document:

so does this mean that we can get the child posts but order by the parent??

Hi,

Luo will be on vacation this week so I'll be following up on this ticket.

> so does this mean that we can get the child posts but order by the parent??
- Yes, your understanding is correct and this is now possible, using the "orderby_role" argument.

When this argument wasn't available the "order" argument would only work with respect to what was set in "role_to_return".
