   Hey folks, I am really struggling with this. Here is my site:

   http://www.tarheeldiving.com/category/profiles/

   The three titles there are posts in category 29 and I have set up a category-29.php template in my theme to provide a different format for this specific page. My problem is that I can not sort this list by the title.

   This is my loop:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div class="main">
   
   		<div class="content">
   
   	<?php
   query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=title&order=ASC');
   if (have_posts()) : ?>
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   
   ...

   This was the line i added to force the sort order:

   query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=title&order=ASC');

   I know the category-29 template is in use and I know that the above line is taking effect since I can insert other parameters such as put &p=25 in there and i get very different results.

   What am i doing wrong here? Any suggestions.

   thanks

   anyone any ideas on this? I still have not got this working and I have followed the example in the codex on alphabetising the list to the letter but it doesn't work. I am using latest WP - 2.3.1

   neither of these two links alphabetises by title:

   http://www.tarheeldiving.com/?cat=17&orderby=title&order=asc
   http://www.tarheeldiving.com/?cat=29&orderby=title&order=asc

   thanks

   OK ... i just figured this out through playing with other people's blogs.

   The issue is that I have "Sticky" plug in activated and it stops all attempts at putting orderby=... in the url, in the theme or anywhere.

   I'll report it to the author.

   thanks
