[wp-forums] sorting posts per title using 'pre_get_posts'

[Michael Stolze]

thanks, Chris; I ended up using:

function wpsf_orderby( $query ) {
    if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
        return;
 // do conditional checks here and return on false.?

    if ( is_category('uncategorized') ) {
remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', __FUNCTION__ );
add_filter( 'posts_orderby', function() { return ' post_title ASC'; } );
}
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpsf_orderby' );

(hopefully this resolves the topic)

thanks again,
Michael aka alchymyth
