Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Sorted By Alphabetical Order, ALWAYS

Hi,

If you specifically want your posts to always be displayed alphabetically by title, there are plugins in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory that provide alphabetical/post-order functionality.

For example, GR Order Category Post supports changing the post order to alphabetical (A–Z), and AtoZ Sorting is another plugin specifically designed to sort posts alphabetically.

However, if you need the main homepage/blog page to always use A–Z ordering automatically, rather than manually rearranging the posts, you should check the plugin’s description and settings to make sure it supports the exact archive/homepage behavior you need.

WordPress itself also supports alphabetical ordering through the main query, so a small pre_get_posts customization is another option if you cannot find a plugin that handles your particular theme’s homepage.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Yes, this can be added with a small custom code snippet. WordPress stores the user ID of the last editor in the _edit_last post meta.

You can add a custom Last Editor column to the Posts and Pages admin lists using the manage_posts_columns / manage_pages_columns filters and their corresponding custom-column hooks.

For example, for Posts:
```
add_filter( 'manage_posts_columns', function ( $columns ) {
    $columns['last_editor'] = __( 'Last Editor', 'textdomain' );
    return $columns;
} );

add_action( 'manage_posts_custom_column', function ( $column, $post_id ) {
    if ( 'last_editor' === $column ) {
        $editor_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_edit_last', true );

        if ( $editor_id ) {
            $editor = get_userdata( $editor_id );

            if ( $editor ) {
                echo esc_html( $editor->display_name );
            }
        }
    }
}, 10, 2 );
```
A similar approach can be used for Pages with manage_pages_columns and manage_pages_custom_column.

This would show the latest editor alongside the original post author in the WordPress admin list. The _edit_last value is updated when a post is edited, so it is suitable for identifying who last modified the post.

Hi Mr. Jacobsen,

You are not limited to a maximum of 15 posts in WordPress itself. The number of posts displayed on the front page is usually controlled by the theme’s query or the Settings → Reading → Blog pages show at most setting.

If the theme is using a custom WP_Query, you may also need to check the posts_per_page value in the theme’s front-page/home template.

So I would first check Settings → Reading and then the theme’s front-page/home template for a posts_per_page value of 15.

I hope this helps.
