Speaker Page Order

How can I order the speakers on the main speakers page.
Now the order is chronoligical.

Can I order by last name or first name aswell?

Just did it manually by changing the publishing date. but quick complex and time intense.

Hi,

In the category-speakers.php file you should have line:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100 );

you can add additional arguments like:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'title' );

Full list of the possible arguments and values is available here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Refer ... Parameters

Perfect! Thank you. Works

ASC means from A-Z, correct?
And "Title" means firstname, correct?

So what does Z-A and lastname mean?
If I would like to order it other way...

ASC means A-Z
DESC means Z-A

Title means first name and last name together. There is no way to separate first name and last name in the title, because it is one string in the database.

You can try to add the following custom post field for every item: gavern-lastname and set the value for the last name. Then change the query arguments to:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gavern_speakers', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'order' => 'ASC', 'meta_key' => 'gavern-lastname', 'orderby' => 'meta_value' );

OK. THANK YOU!!
