Sorting Posts by Date or Timestamp?
-
Ok I asked this before regarding something else, but I’ll try my luck with a new post :o)
::::::::::::::
Ok here is what I WANT to do:
I post a show Today for NEXT WEEKEND. I want that show to get organized by date to fit in with the other current listings. Is there a way to sort by DATE or by CATEGORY ID?
My thing is that I have a lot of SHOWS listed here:
http://www.foxvalleyshows.com/new/shows.php
I want to show visitors these shows AHEAD of time so they can plan on going to them. But say if someone wants another show posted between 2 existing shows? That makes me think that sorting by category ID is NOT going to work.
So is there any way of sorting by the TIMESTAMP? I mean the data is there, as I will change the timestamp for each new post, so there has to be a way of using that data to organize the POSTS right??
I did find this post:
http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=HowToChangeSortOrder
But that only sorts the actual WP index.php page and not any other page. So you guys can see that I am definately trying to figure this out on my own, but nothing is working.
I even took this code:
$orderby=”date”; $order=’ASC’;
and placed it on my shows.php page on top like this:
<?php $orderby=”date”; $order=’ASC’; require(‘./news/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
But that didn’t work either.
I am using this code under the Upcoming Shows section on all of my pages:
<?php $posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=40&offset=0&category=1’); foreach($posts as $post){ ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php the_content();} ?>I am using this code under the main section of my shows page:
<?php $posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=40&offset=0&category=1’); foreach($posts as $post){ ?>
<?php the_date(”,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?>
<h3>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<br>
<span class=”upcoming”>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</span> </h3>
<?php the_content();} ?>You can view the actual page here:

I am just trying to sort the listings better…
