AJAX result in random order not working

Hi TC.K,

I am trying to have the ajax results show up in random order.
Here is what I have tried…
```
add_filter('uwpqsf_query_args','injecting_custom_arg','', 4);
function injecting_custom_arg($args, $id,$getdata){
//$getdata is like $_GET or $_POST, so you can use it to get the value from instructor.
    if($id == '122') {
        $args['orderby'] = 'rand';
    }
    return $args;
}
```
I want to specifically target one of the forms created with the plugin (ID: 122).
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

You can configure the order setting in the form setting page -> Result Page Settings.

I also use the ajax method with a custom result layout.

But when I change the Orderby at the Result Page Settings nothing happens. It keeps showing the oldest post first. Ascending and Descending also does not change anything.

Yes, I can also verify that using the settings in the form settings page does not work.
Both orderby and ascending/descending settings have no effect.

I had already tried those settings before I created this topic but I just assumed that these settings were only for the default search template and not for ajax which is why I didn’t mention it earlier.

Any other ideas?
Thanks for quick response.

Ok I have found my problem…
I was using the following code on my site to reorder the custom post type in my admin.
```
add_filter("posts_orderby", "reorder_cpt", 10, 2);
function reorder_cpt($orderby, &$query){
    global $wpdb;
    //figure out whether you want to change the order
    if (get_query_var("post_type") == "custom_post_type") {
         return "$wpdb->posts.post_title ASC";
    }
    return $orderby;
}
```
Turns out it was messing with the entire site and not just the admin listings.

I can now confirm that changing the order settings in the Results Page Settings of the WPQSF form does indeed work as it should.

Yasp0, take a look to see if you have any other functions elsewhere in your code that could be messing with the query’s order.

Thanks

Thanks, also found my problem 🙂

I had a query for an advanced search in the functions.php which caused it.
