Hi,
In my situation, I would like to display the Featured category in a slider but with the older posts in first.
It could be very useful to add an option to invert the sort order in the sliders (perhaps in the blocks too).

Is it possible ? Or a simple hack?
Thank’s

Hi,
Do you mean to show the older posts instead of latest?

Add this code like here: http://screencast.com/t/uPhGcP3V

case 'older_post':
                $wp_query_args['orderby'] = 'date';
                $wp_query_args['order'] = 'DESC';
                break;

And this: http://screencast.com/t/NnSuUdETlf
, 'Older Posts' => 'older_post'

http://screencast.com/t/ZgKgGC16jcx

If you want to sort by older the Featured posts you can Copy the featured case and add this $wp_query_args['order'] = 'DESC'; to sord by DESC and also add the filter here: http://screencast.com/t/ZgKgGC16jcx

Thanks!

Ok, thank you , I have just added, these two lines in the “Featured” case:

                $wp_query_args['orderby'] = 'date';
                $wp_query_args['order'] = 'DESC';

It seems to work fine.

Perhaps on “older” case later 😉

I mean:
$wp_query_args[‘orderby’] = ‘date’;
$wp_query_args[‘order’] = ‘ASC‘;
