I am a little confused as to how sorting works for post category mega menus. Does it sort by newest post? last modified?
Hi,
So you are referring to the order of the posts that are displayed in the mega-menu. That would be a latest sort order, so they will appear by publish date. Currently there are no sorting settings for the mega-menu, maybe it will be considered for a future update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
No problem. Maybe you can give me a recommendation, though. I’ve never really published a blog before.
I want to publish weekly job listings from my job board. So I would have a weekly post titled, “Don’t miss these jobs from MyJobs.com”.
I want this to be the first (newest) post in the mega menu for its category.
Is there is any SEO-related issues with having multiple posts of the same name, since it would be a weekly post of the same title.
Should I just make a new post every week and delete the old one?
That will happen automatically in the menu, as well as in any elements that displays posts and is sorted by latest (also filtered by the category or categories to which the posts belong to). So as soon as a post is published it will appear in this case.
If there are multiple posts with the same title, WordPress will automatically add a number after the title (2, 3, 4 etc). In terms of SEO from what I know this should not be done

Has there been any update on this question? We have an author who needs to modify his posts, and have them be listed first in the post order for a mega menu item.
It would seem to be a one line edit to change from get_published_time to get_modified_time, but I am unclear where that would need to happen for the mega-menu. Every other block on our site is customizable to order by modification date – why can the mega-menu be made to match?
Hello,
Unfortunately, this option has not been implemented to sort by modified date.
The only way to sort the posts in the mega menu is by name or ID.
Thank you!
