order the search results

Hello Ross,

I notice the results display by date. Is there a way to choose by title, for example ?

Best regards,

D.

Hey David, again there are no default options, so you would need to hook in to pre_get_posts to do this, I think there is another post on here where I gave some sample code to a user… I will try to find it..

If you would like your users to be able to choose the order they see the results, then just choose the field “sort order” and add it to your form!

Thanks

Hey David

Here is some code to hook in to the main loop for Search & Filter –

function order_results_default( $query )
{
    global $sf_form_data;
	
    if ( $sf_form_data->is_valid_form() && $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin())
    {
        //order results
        $query->set('orderby', 'title');
        $query->set('order', 'DESC');
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'order_results_default', 21 );

This should order by title, to see other options you could look here 🙂 :
