I do understand the mysql order/ limit syntax. Sorry, I just really didn’t have enough background with the code to understand how it was working in this context. Yes, I am looping over my results, but the issue is those results, at least for me, still don’t seem to be sorted in the correct order. It is entirely possible I’ve made an error someplace else in my code and I will look into this. I really appreciate your help. Thank you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ReOrder Posts within Categories] Apply Sort Order to custom query](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apply-sort-order-to-custom-query/) * Thread Starter [maccast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maccast/) * (@maccast) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apply-sort-order-to-custom-query/#post-9964038) * Yes, but as you can see it wouldn’t work because for some odd reason it has a` ASC LIMIT 0, 1` on it. Meaning there is nothing to “order” since it’s only one result. That’s why i=I wasn’t sure it was the correct query. If I remove the ` limit` it does appear to return the correct items. - This reply was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by [maccast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maccast/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ReOrder Posts within Categories] Apply Sort Order to custom query](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apply-sort-order-to-custom-query/) * Thread Starter [maccast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maccast/) * (@maccast) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apply-sort-order-to-custom-query/#post-9939940) * Not sure exactly what I’m looking at, buthere is the full SQL query I’m seeing: * SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) INNER JOIN wp_reorder_post_rel ON wp_posts.ID = wp_reorder_post_rel.post_id and incl = 1 WHERE 1=1 AND ( wp_term_relationships. term_taxonomy_id IN (29) ) AND wp_posts.post_type = 'menu-item' AND (wp_posts. post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'acf-disabled' OR wp_posts. post_status = 'private') AND wp_reorder_post_rel.category_id = '29' GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_reorder_post_rel.id ASC LIMIT 0, 1 * There is an `INNER JOIN wp_reorder_post_rel ON wp_posts.ID = wp_reorder_post_rel. post_id`, but when the page is rendered the items are not displayed in the custom order. - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [maccast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maccast/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[ReOrder Posts within Categories] Apply Sort Order to custom query](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apply-sort-order-to-custom-query/) * Thread Starter [maccast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maccast/) * (@maccast) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/apply-sort-order-to-custom-query/#post-9742232) * Ok, well I’m maybe a bit confused then because you can see from my code above that I’m using `WP_Query` and I am NOT setting `suppress_filters=true`, but the results I’m getting are not being sorted in the custom order.

I wish I had more control over the display formatting, but at least this bring back the missing functionality. The solution involves making two filter calls. We put these in a custom theme plug-in, but they could also be added to the `functions.php` file of your theme. * The first call uses the `apple_news_generate_json` filter. In it I add a couple of `textStyles` JSON entries to the top level properties on main JSON object. These will be used to apply in-line text styles to the markdown code which you’ll see later. See Apple’s docs on the [textStyle](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/Apple_News_Format_Ref/TextStyle.html) for more info. Here is the code: * ``` function add_text_styles_to_apple_news($json, $content_id) { /* Add custom inline styles */ $json['textStyles'] = array( 'read-original-url' => array( 'fontName' => 'AvenirNext-Regular', 'fontSize' => 14, 'textColor' => '#0a5785', ), 'read-original-link' => array( 'fontName' => 'AvenirNext-Bold', 'fontSize' => 14, 'textColor ' => '#666', ) ); return $json; } add_filter( 'apple_news_generate_json', 'add_text_styles_to_apple_news', 10, 2 ); ``` * This defines two new `textStyles`: `read-original-url` and `read-original-link`. These can be used later using Apple News’ inline text style. The basic format is `Example of [text to be styled]{read-original-url}` where the text you want to apply the style to is in the square braces and the style to apply to it is in the curly braces (in this example the `read-original-url` style which we defined with the filter call above). * The second filter call we used is `apple_news_exporter_content_pre`. In here we are simply appending the “Read Original” text and link to the content before it’s parsed by the Apple News plugin. Here’s the code: * ``` function add_content_to_apple_news($content, $ID) { $post = get_post($ID); //create the Read Full Story link and apply the styles $link = sprintf('

[Read Original:]{tmo-read-original-link} [[%s](%s)]{read-original-url}

', $post->post_title, get_permalink($ID) ); $content .= $link; //append link to content return $content; } add_filter( 'apple_news_exporter_content_pre', 'add_content_to_apple_news', 10, 2 ); ``` * This is fairly straight forward. We grab the post object using the `$ID` and then build out our link content and append it to `$content` and return it. * That’s it. For us this is working well.
