Custom Order for Sticky Posts

Hi there,

I replied to support request by email but not sure if it went through (included login details). I have to re-open this ticket. I was lucky the first time because my sticky items were already in the right order. Although that’s not the case anymore and still have the problem of not being able to put them in a custom order. I just need Coles to show before Aldi

Hi,

I have a website where I’m creating a store directory. There are 5 key stores which needs to display first in a custom order, then the rest alphabetically.

I’ve tried using meta value as the first sort order (created a custom field called “display order” and sorted numerically). Then for secondary order I have selected Title.

The meta value seems to work as long as it is manually entered – but if I don’t set the meta value on other posts, they simply don’t show up. I expected that it would use the meta value if a post had one, but if not sort by title.

Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to set a sticky posts and custom order them?

Ah. Our forum software does not reply by email 🙁

Are you applying a sort to the posts at all? If not maybe this popular plugin will help? I have not tried it in this respect, btw:
