Title: Include "Menu Order" in orderby attribute Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Include "Menu Order" in orderby attribute * Resolved [brandon.w](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brandonw-1/) * (@brandonw-1) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-menu-order-in-orderby-attribute/) * In the plugin documentation, it states: * > As for the “orderby” attribute you can filter posts by “title”, “date”, “author”,“ > ID”. * It would be great if you could add “menu_order” to that list. * For example, in the Page Editor, you can set the order of a page in it’s current hierarchy. But there is no way (that I’ve found) to order the HTML sitemap this way. So, while my pages are organized by menu order in the back end, they are organized alphabetically on the front end. 🙁 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-sitemap/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-sitemap/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Thread Starter [brandon.w](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brandonw-1/) * (@brandonw-1) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-menu-order-in-orderby-attribute/#post-6880726) * HA!

It worked for me too. The documentation still doesn’t have this clearly stated. Plugin authors, please update your documentation! * Plugin Author [David Gwyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgwyer/) * (@dgwyer) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-menu-order-in-orderby-attribute/#post-6880951) * Thanks for the reminder. 🙂 * I’ve updated the plugin (v1.83) to include the ‘menu_order’ attribute. There is now also a direct link to the WordPress WP_Query page for a full list of available parameters. * Thread Starter [brandon.w](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brandonw-1/) * (@brandonw-1) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/include-menu-order-in-orderby-attribute/#post-6880952) * SO MUCH WIN for getting to this.
