Author Pro: archive-books.php

[susanhayse]

I'd like to change the order of the books displayed on the books archive page from date of post to book title (a-z). Any idea how I can accomplish this?

Thanks

Try pre_get_posts with the is_post_type_archive conditional tag

Thanks braddalton. I'm not enough of a developer to figure that out. I assume that's a line of code I'd add to my archive-books file but I don't know exactly how I would do that.

I solved this by using this snippet of code in the functions.php for Author Pro. It was probably what you were getting at braddalton.

//*Change sort order on books archive 
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_sort_order'); 
    function my_change_sort_order($query){
        if(is_archive()):
           $query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
           //Set the orderby
           $query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
        endif;    
    };
