Can you check if the Autosort is ON? Otherwise include the following within your query:
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’
If the above does not work, it means there’s something wrong with your query, see if match the WordPress Codex description http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
I’m having the same problem. Auto sort and Admin sort are both set, and my custom post type is non-hierarchical. I have his working for some custom post types, but not others.
I’ve tried every ‘orderby’ option on the codex page nsp-code suggested page (Section 5.11) and none of them seem to make a difference.
<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'mde_fact', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' => 'ID', 'order'=>'ASC', 'hierarchical' => false);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
I have this failing even for regular posts and pages. I can sort in the admin but the front-end just sorts with default date descending as if the Advanced Post Types Order plugin isn’t even operating. I have autosort on. Help please.
If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic instead of tagging onto someone else’s topic.
I am now closing this 8 month old resolved topic as it references an older version of WordPress and (probably) the plugin.
