   Hi. I am attempting to sort my posts alphabetically under category, for example:

   http://www.bloodylexicon.com/category/monsters/

   I modified this line in the category.php for the template, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. Any ideas?

   <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link&orderby=title&order=asc'); ?>

   Hi, so I know I modified the wrong part. I am a programmer but php is not my expertise. Where/how are these methods included from? I don't see any include functions in my php that contain the method "single_cat_title", also, how does have_posts() know to only pull back ones of this category? The code that I am concerned about is here:

   <h3><?php single_cat_title(); ?></h3>
   
   <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="excerpt">
   			<h2><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </h2>
   
   						<div class="excerptentry"><?php the_excerpt(); ?><div class="excerptlink"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"> Click for more information...</a></div></div>
   
   		<div class="postmetadata">
   
   			<span class="date">Posted in <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></span>
   
   			<span class="comment"> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »','1 Comment »','% Comments »'); ?></span>
   
   			<span class="tag"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?></span>
   
   		</div>
           <div class="clear"></div>
   </div>

   <?php endwhile; ?>`

   Okay, so I found the tutorial on wordpress's website, and I did not assume it was as easy as

   <?php
    $posts = query_posts($query_string .
   '&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=10');
   ?>

   How do I have access to change the $posts variable and it magically modifies the query?

   Hi sarcasteak,

   <?php
   $posts = query_posts($query_string .
   '&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=10');
   ?>

   which file and where this code goes?
   I tried sidebar.php (default theme) and archives.php but it did not work.

   thanks.

   Hi, I placed this before "the loop" used to retrieve posts in my category.php

   the default theme I use does not show any category.php, that's why I tried in archive.php and then in index.php. But No difference in results.
