WordPress doesn’t store Post or Page view, so the first thing you’ll need to do is find a plugin that will store this data for you.
I found this – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-loop-to-order-posts-by-views and it “seems” to work but not quite. I am getting posts with the larger views at the top but then I have posts with smaller views interspersed. You can see how it’s working here – http://support.topechelon.com And here’s the code I’m using. Notice there’s a section that shows the number of views in the code. It’s calling a function that returns get_post_meta($pid,’post_viewed_count’,true) which is what the args also order by, so I would think my number of views would decrease per row instead of going from 514 to 154 to 40 to 185.
<?php $paged = intval(get_query_var('paged')); ?>
<?php $paged = ($paged) ? $paged : 1; ?>
<?php
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'post_viewed_count',
'order' => 'ASC',
);
?>
<?php query_posts($args); ?>
<!-- ****** END ORDER BY VIEWS STUFF -->
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
/* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
*/ ?>
<div class="entry">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="views"><?php echo user_post_visit_count($post->ID);?> Views</div><div class="categories"><?php the_category(', '); ?></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
