WP Sorting Posts

In this repository I'll show you how can you sort posts through select option from frontend.

First we'll create select form and pass the values in option field like this

value="?orderby=date&order=DESC"

After that refresh the page through onchange event and select the selected value like this

onchange="document.location.search=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"

To confirm we get the values I suggest you to print the $_GET Global variable like this

print_r($_GET);

Now we pass that $_GET values through WP_Query

if( $_GET['order'] != '' ) {
  $args['order'] = $_GET['order'];
}

And

if( $_GET['orderby'] != '' ) {
  $args['orderby'] = $_GET['orderby'];
}

and then set them to WP_Query

$query = new WP_Query( $args );

You can find complete code in index.php.
