   Hi All

   I need some assistance with custom queries for specific categories in WP 2.6. I've found that I can create a page for the category itself using the category ID (i.e. category-13.php). I've verified that this works. Now I want to change the sort order of posts for a specific category. Here's how my loop looks in my theme:

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // the loop ?>
   
   /* Blah blah */
   
   <?php endwhile; //end one post ?>

   I've tried using lines like

   <?php query_posts($query_string.'&orderby=date&order=DESC'); ?>

   before the loop but it seems to not have an affect. Can anyone help? Im at a loss here.

   Thanks!

   Well, according to the Docs, The_Loop starts with
   if ( have_posts() ) etc. not with the "while..."

   I apologize, I didn't the proper chunk of code. I have a proper loop per the Docs:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    /* Blah */
   <?php endwhile; //end one post ?>^M
   <?php endif; ?>

   But I still can't get the query to work properly. Any ideas?

   Thanks!
