Sorting by checkbox AND date

Anonymous

#27215

Hi Ross, I have a simple form for a custom post type with 2 taxonomies which works fine. The thing is though that I need the posts sorted new-to-old except for a few featured entries.

So I made a tickbox to make a post featured and sorted the form by that tickbox. That works. The problem is that all non-featured post somehow seem to revert to an old-to-new order.

Is there a way to set the sort like this:
1) sort by featured or non-featured
2) sort the rest from new-to-old

Is there a way to set such a double sort-order with a filter or something in the functions.php

Thanks in advance,

many greetings,

Han

Hi there

I’m afraid a 2 tier sorting system is not yet available but I’m considering adding it in.

You could try to use pre_get_posts to modify the sort order though – although its not something I’m officially supporting at the moment.

Thanks
