[Support request] Alphabetizing Posts in Categories

[K Bell]

Hello,

My site is a dictionary, with a category for each letter.

The plugin I am using to alphabetize posts has been deprecated.

WordPress provides these directions to change the categories.php file to achieve the same effect. However, I cannot find the Category Template within the theme editor.

How would I make all categories sort alphabetically within this theme?

Thank you,

Kenton

Hi,

I’m not sure I fully understand what you mean.

To clarify: Do you want the post lists to be sorted alphabetically by title?

If so, from the same page you’ve linked, you can use pre_get_posts.

Example: Sorting archives using title in ascending order.

function modify_query_order( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_archive() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
        $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'modify_query_order' );

Here’s how to add PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
