Changing Sort Options in Admin Doesn't Work

[bryanveloso]

I changed:

wp('post_type=page&orderby=menu_order&what_to_show=posts&posts_per_page=-1&posts_per_archive_page=-1');

to

wp('post_type=page&orderby=post_title&what_to_show=posts&posts_per_page=-1&posts_per_archive_page=-1');

because my fiance wanted her pages sorted as such, by post title. However, they don't sort by post title after I do this. The sorting mechanism just breaks altogether. I tried this with the SQL statement from 2.0.5, and that also didn't work when I changed it to sort by post title.

Oh, this line is #22 in edit-pages.php.

Looking at query.php (in trunk) you don't want to use post_title but just title here:

The 'allowed' values are:
$allowed_keys = array('author', 'date', 'category', 'title', 'modified', 'menu_order');

The relavent code is ​here

if ( 'menu_order' != $orderby )
    $orderby = 'post_' . $orderby;

Thanks westi. :)
