    I want to allow users to order a posts list through a drop-down menu, but I can’t get the following code to work.

    <div class="sort">
     <select onclick="if (this.value) { document.location = this.value; }">
        <option value="" selected="selected">Sort by</option>
        <option value="<?php echo $short_page_url; ?>?orderby=title&order=ASC">Titles Z-A</option>
        <option value="<?php echo $short_page_url; ?>?orderby=title&order=DESC">Titles A-Z</option>
     </select>
</div>

<?php $posts = get_posts("numberposts=20&cat=30"); foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

CONTENT GOES HERE

<?php endforeach; ?>

    Any help would be appreciated.

    First, you have the order values reversed. Z-A should be DESC and A-Z should be ASC.

    Then, change this:

    <?php $posts = get_posts("numberposts=20&cat=30"); foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

    to this:

    <?php
$orderby = (isset($_GET['orderby'])) ? "&orderby={$_GET['orderby']}" : '';
$order = (isset($_GET['order'])) ? "&order={$_GET['order']}" : '';

$posts = get_posts("numberposts=20&cat=32$orderby$order"); foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
