Hi,

I just created an autoblog and now I have a lot of posts to organize within my admin area. My problem is that WordPress sorts posts by the time it was published. I need to view or sort my posts by my title so that I can organize my tags better.

I just want to sort my posts from within my admin area so I can organize them better and maybe delete some posts. Does anyone know how to view your WP posts by title? I'll probably need a plugin for this one. I have way too many posts that I need to organize.

Thanks!

  • Use the "orderby" parameter when you display your posts, you can either do this by category or in the index.php file so that the main listing is ordered by title:

  • Hi Bill,

    Thanks for you reply. I think that will list posts on the front end alphabetically. I would just like to list posts on the back end or admin side alphabetically. It doesn't matter what order it is seen visibly to users. I would like to see it on my end just for organizing sake. I want to check that I don't have duplicate posts etc... Everything that I want to do it is in the admin side.

    Does anyone know how to list their post titles alphabetically on the admin side?

    Thanks!
  • Found this on the WP forum. Try this. Save the code below in a php file named admin_sort.php, or something, and upload it to your plugin directory, activate, and Bob's your uncle (I hope).
    Code:
    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Set Post Order In Admin
Version: 0.1
Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/336715/
Description: In Posts->Edit, display posts in title order.
Author: MichaelH
Author URI: http://codex.wordpress.org/User:MichaelH/MyPlugins
*/

function set_post_order_in_admin(  ) {
  if ( is_admin() ) {
    ( 'orderby', 'title' );
    ( 'order', 'ASC' );
  }
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'set_post_order_in_admin' );
?>
