default sort elements = orderby date desc

Hi GP Team,
I find myself in the Elements area often but I'm always clicking the Date column to sort by most recent. Might you know of a php snippet I can use to make it so it always sorts by this when I click the sidebar WP Admin > Appearance > "Elements" sidebar link? Basically, I'd love to append &orderby=date&order=desc to the sidebar link.


Happy Wednesday,
Hi there,
give this PHP Snippet a shot:
function set_post_order_in_admin( $wp_query ) {
global $typenow;
$post_type = 'gp_elements';
if ( is_admin() && $typenow == $post_type && !isset($_GET['orderby'])) {
$wp_query->set( 'orderby', 'date' );
$wp_query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
}
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'set_post_order_in_admin', 5 );
Hell yea brother - solved!
Best of success to you on this fine Wednesday.
Glad to hear that !!
