OK, more specifically I was thinking about this in the hicpo_pre_get_posts
function:
if ( $active ) {
if ( !$wp_query->get( 'orderby' ) ) {
$wp_query->set( 'orderby', 'menu_order' );
}
if ( !$wp_query->get( 'order' ) ) {
$wp_query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
}
}
Is there any chance you would check it at see if it works?
Hey Newash
I used your code above and it corrects the behaviour of the plugin just applying order wherever it wants to.
I have uploaded my version of the file here:

Thanks for you input!

Hey Anriette,
Thanks for the feedback, now it’s working at least for the two of us. 🙂
I haven’t created a snipplet myself, but looking at yours made me wonder if the “playing safe” like if ( isset( $args ) ) ...
part is necessary at all. I mean in theory.
Should $wp_query
already contain what’s in $args
at that point already?
I meant this question mainly for the original developer, what do you think hijiri?
Thanks @newash and @anriettec! I used @anriettec’s version of the file from github and it worked.
I did have to go to my custom post type in wordpress and drag/drop one of them, and then the plugin’s sorting worked correctly.
My custom query orderby and order is now working as expected. Thanks so much you two, and @hijiri of course!
Thank you @newash and @anriettec. This solved my problem, too!
Employed @anriettec’s code and it works great. Now I can use JC Submenu to auto-populate submenus and the Intuitive Custom Post Order order does not conflict with the submenu order.

Hi hijiri,
For the first look, it seems to be OK.
Thanks for the fix!
I’m curious though: should $wp_query
already contain what’s in $args
at the point of calling hooks for pre_get_posts
? Is it triggered anywhere else then here?: wp-includes/query.php/get_posts()
Cheers

Hi newash.
Likely there hints in there to solve the biggest problem facing.
Thanks.

Hi, there.
updated to ver.3.0.4.
Please try this.
note:
Your Query which uses the ‘order’ or ‘orderby’ parameters is preferred.
In order to prefer the parameters of your query, You must use the ‘WP_Query()’ or ‘query_posts()’. Excluded ‘get_posts()’.
Thanks.
Hi
Do some of you guys know how to display the oldest posts first? I can not get it to work with the general orderby and order query.
Thanks

Hey mrseneca,
Does WP_Query('orderby=date&order=ASC')
not work?
It works. But is there a way where I can reverse my admin backend?

You mean: by default?
This was the first in my Google search result list:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sort-pages-by-date-in-admin-by-default?replies=4
Not the nicest with that global variable, but seems to be doing the job.
