prophecy2040 on "Independent ASC/DESC in multiple ORDER BY statement."

I came across the need for this just the other day on two separate sites I was working on. I ended up having to hook into the posts_orderby filter and modify it for the certain instance I needed - so it was a lot more work than it should have been.

With the more versatile uses of WordPress sites these days, the need arises to perform more complex queries to get the right data. And who wants to have to write their own custom query calls when WP_Query is so great and easy to use?

I mainly just want to agree with extending the WP_Query class to allow for this functionality. With the great features like the meta_queries and the integration of the custom post type taxonomy - it just falls flat without the ability to sort the multiple columns independently.

WP_Query supports ordering results by multiple columns, but does not currently support independent ASC/DESC declarations on those columns. Instead, it concatenates the ORDER and ORDER BY statements together.

In some cases, it would be beneficial to independently set the order for these columns. An example offered on WP-Hackers:

I have a situation where I want to order a list of post both by author and date using WP_Query which isn't a problem since 'orderby' lets me do that. But I want the author part sorted ascending and date part sorted descending.

A normal MySql statement would end with ORDER BY author ASC, date DESC.

We should extend WP_Query to allow users to set their ordering parameters independently. This should be done in such a way as to not break backwards compatibility.

I really like using the new 2012 theme as a base for my WP pages, but I've come across one now that I need to make in English/Spanish. So I want a link at the end of my main navigation that is "ENG/SPAN" and when clicked the entire page switches to an alternate version of the WP install that I've made just for spanish speaking users.

So, I'm thinking a plugin that makes it where an admin can create multiple menus in the Dashboard>Menus and then select which navigation menu is to be used for individual pages on the edit page, page.

I searched around the existing plugins a bit, but didn't find what I was looking for and my php knowledge is far from being able to accomplish this. Anyone think this is possible?

This has nothing to do with Accessibility.

Use a + instead of a , if you want only posts in both.

This also work with pretty permalinks:

http://www.example.com/category/white+rabbit

What I want is a way to programattically generate a link to two categories that way. I know I can use ?cat=, but I'd rather have a core function take care of it.

if you caught Matt's "State of the Word" he touched on this. To quote him, "It's hard." We'd all love it, but it's just crazy right now, since part of the reason Google can do this is because you're on their servers, and they have the power for it. WP is on yours, and is much, much smaller.

It's more likely we'd see this on .com first, where WP can control the world, and then on VIPs, and finally inching out to the rest of us. Don't expect it soon, though :/

Great idea!
I was looking for a plugin like this, but couldn't find one. There are some document management systems that talk about "collaboration", but you need to download files and editing at the same time is not possible.
