   I'm trying to give users to sort results as follows:

   <a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>?s=<?php echo get_search_query();?>">Relevance</a>
   <a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>?s=<?php echo get_search_query();?>&orderby=post_date&order=desc">Newest</a>
   <a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>?s=<?php echo get_search_query();?>&orderby=post_date&order=asc">Oldest</a>

   Relevance and Newest work fine, but Oldest does not (it produces the same results as Newest).

   Any thoughts?

   Thanks in anticipation

   I just tested this on my test blog and everything worked just fine. The results come out in correct order and switch order like they should when I change the order parameter.

   The function is a bit picky, as the parameter must be exactly "asc" for it to ascending sort, anything else (even ASC or something like that) and it's a descending sort.

   So, I'm guessing that for some reason the parameter isn't being passed as it should.

   You could try adding

   var_dump($order);

   after line 952, which looks like this:

   isset($wp->query_vars["order"]) ? $order = $wp->query_vars["order"] : $order = 'desc';

   Then click the link with the ascending order and see what the var_dump says.

   Thanks Mikko for getting back to me so quickly.

   I added var_dump($order); as suggested and everything worked OK.

   I guess there must have been something in my cache that was causing the problem.

   Thanks for your help.

   Regards,
