Title: Post ID order Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Post ID order * Resolved [António Carreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/streetdog1971/) * (@streetdog1971) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/) * Hi there. * Thanks for the amazing plugin, great work! * I’m having the following “problem”: * When using “Comma-separated list of post IDs” I insert the Post ID’s like: 62,58,26 * I’m expecting the output to be something like: - Post ID = 62 - Post ID = 58 - Post ID = 26 * But it’s not. It outputs in the wrong order: - Post ID = 62 - Post ID = 26 - Post ID = 58 * Is there a way to make this right? * Thanks in advance! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [DaveE](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpe415/) * (@dpe415) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351666) * Hi StreetDog, * You’ll want to set the “Order Posts By” setting to **Post ID Order**. It’s the last option for the “Order Posts By” setting. * Cheers! * Thread Starter [António Carreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/streetdog1971/) * (@streetdog1971) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351669) * Already tried it, doesn’t work… Nor does the Ascending and Descending options. * Plugin Author [DaveE](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpe415/) * (@dpe415) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351671) * Double check. There is an option called **Post ID** and also one called **Post ID Order**. Make sure it’s **Post ID Order**. * I’m confident that it is working. I just tested again using a default site build with TwentyFourteen. If it still isn’t working, then there must be a theme or plugin filter overriding the query. * Thread Starter [António Carreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/streetdog1971/) * (@streetdog1971) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351685) * Ok, I’ve found the culprit, I was using the “Simple Custom Post Order” plugin and it was messing with FPW post order. * Thanks a lot for your quick reply!

Here’s a couple widgets that I’ve tried, both with the same results: * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/anything-order/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/anything-order/) [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-post-order/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-post-order/) * What happens is that the order of the posts on FPW is changed when I install one of those widgets. Is there a way to avoid it? * Thanks in advance! * Plugin Author [DaveE](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpe415/) * (@dpe415) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351894) * Hi StreetDog, this is an issue with all of these plugins being too “loose” with which queries they re-order. Basically, the plugins aren’t limiting their reordering code to the main query or any other limiter. *Every* query that matches the post type or taxonomy that you have “custom ordered” with these plugins will be affected, even the queries generated by FPW. * There isn’t any way for my plugin to “undo” the query adjustments those plugins are making. I’d suggest using a better custom sorting plugin. My preference is always the [ordering plugins from NSP Code](http://www.nsp-code.com/wordpress-plugins/)( they are paid, but very powerful and well coded). * Cheers! * Thread Starter [António Carreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/streetdog1971/) * (@streetdog1971) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351895) * Hi! * Thanks again for your patience. I’ve tested one of the NSP Code free plugins but it didn’t work. Couldn’t figure out why. * I found this one: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/metronet-reorder-posts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/metronet-reorder-posts/) It works great. I can sort all my CPT on the backend and maintain the FPW order on the frontend. It also allows me to sort by menu order, so I guess I’m a happy camper now. 😉 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Post ID order’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/flexible-posts-widget/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=984592) * [Flexible Posts Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-posts-widget/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-posts-widget/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-posts-widget/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-posts-widget/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flexible-posts-widget/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [António Carreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/streetdog1971/) * Last activity: [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-id-order/#post-5351895) * Status: resolved
