## Beskriuwing

A really simple and lightweight plugin (73 lines of code – comments included) to
sort posts on-the-fly without making a new query to the database (improves performance).

#### Features:

 * Supports **all `order_by` and `order` values of the [query_posts function](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Orderby_Parameters)**
   except `meta_value` and `meta_value_num` (which require a database query).
 * Supports **changing the order of all types of posts**, including custom post 
   type posts and custom post type “archive” posts.

#### Documentation

This plugin adds the function `sort_query_posts_by(string $order_by [, string $order])`
to the global context.
 The second `$order` parameter is optional. Its default value
is `asc` (ascending order).

**Call this function before [the loop](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) to 
change how posts are ordered.**
 After calling this function you can show the posts
as you normally would.

You can sort posts by:

 * author
 * comment_count
 * date
 * id
 * menu_order
 * modified
 * parent
 * title

This is specially useful in two cases:

 * When you need to reorder the posts returned by the query that WordPress creates
   from your given URL. Custom post type “archive” posts are a great example of 
   this case.
 * When you need the posts returned by your customized query (e.g. `query_posts()`)
   to be shown more than once on the same page and ordered differently.

**Examples:**

    ```
    <?php sort_query_posts_by('title', 'desc'); ?>
    ```

The example above will sort posts by their title in descending order without making
a new query to the database.
 This way sorting is performance friendly.

    ```
    <?php sort_query_posts_by('ID'); ?>
    ```

The example above will sort posts by their ID in ascending order.

    ```
    <?php sort_query_posts_by('rand'); ?>
    ```

The example above will sort posts randomly. When sorting randomly `$order` is ignored.

 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Use the added function `sort_query_posts_by` after any wordpress query and your
    posts will be sorted to your needs.
