Title: Cannot order CPT in Admin Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Cannot order CPT in Admin * Resolved [Peer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/athen/) * (@athen) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/) * Hello 🙂 * I cannot order my custom posts in the admin, I would like to order by date, so I would see newest at the top, but when I click on “date” in the admin, nothing happens, the posts just reloads in same order as before. No changes takes place. The current order is always the same – but I cannot figure out what’s defining that order, either. * Any suggestions to get the right order? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Cristian Antohe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sareiodata/) * (@sareiodata) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645383) * Hi Athen, * Just tested this and it’s working in my install. It could be a conflict with another plugin. * Can you please check to see if pages and posts are sortable via date? * Thread Starter [Peer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/athen/) * (@athen) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645387) * Thanks. The issue only occours when I have ALOT of posts. I have one CPT with 967 posts, that I cannot sort. * Another CPT with just a few -> sorts perfect. * I’ve talked to server management, and there are no time-outs or limitations reached. * How can this be? I can provide staging-server, login and FTP if you like. Please write me a email then. peer (at) ondesign (dot) dk * Plugin Author [Cristian Antohe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sareiodata/) * (@sareiodata) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645396) * That’s definitely weird. Could be the query takes to long and it drops? * I really don’t know. Try and find where in WordPress that query happens and try and debug it and see where it fails. There’s no way around it. * Thread Starter [Peer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/athen/) * (@athen) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645397) * Thanks for your thoughts. Unfortunately I do not have the skills to bug-track in admin 🙁 Good idea about the query that drops – is there a way to “fix” that? * Thanks alot 🙂 * Plugin Author [Cristian Antohe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sareiodata/) * (@sareiodata) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645398) * Unfortunately I can’t really help you here. * What you could try is some general debuging tips: – disable all plugins and try again – change to a default theme and try again – try and replicate this bug with another WordPress instance… it could just be a WordPress bug. – try and install your site on your localhost with the same database and try again. It could be from your server. – search for something similar via google or search [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/) for a similar bug. * Thread Starter [Peer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/athen/) * (@athen) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645399) * Thanks 🙂 Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Cannot order CPT in Admin’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/assets/icon- 256x256.png?rev=2257602) * [Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator - WCK](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/reviews/) ## Tags * [date](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/date/) * [order](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/order/) * [post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/post/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Peer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/athen/) * Last activity: [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-order-cpt-in-admin/#post-5645399) * Status: resolved
