'orderby' and 'order' ingored in genesis_custom_loop

[lagomdesign]

I'm adding a custom loop to the end of a specific page (using a page template). The custom loop pulls all the posts from a custom post type. For testing purposes, my args are set up like this:
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'rh_community', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby' => 'rand' );
When using genesis_custom_loop( $args ), the posts are returned in the same order regardless as to what 'orderby' is set to. Makes absolutely no difference.

I tested my set up using the same $args variable with get_posts( $args ). That worked exactly as expected.

Is this a known issue? Any way around it?

print( '<div class="communities">' );
genesis_custom_loop( $args );
print( '</div>' );

print( '<div class="communities">' );
$comms = get_posts( $args );
print( '<ul>');
foreach( $comms as $com )
{
	printf('<li>%s</li>', apply_filters('the_title', $com->post_title ) );
}
print( '</ul>' );
print( '</div>' );

Can you post all the code for the custom loop please.

Also, why are you using print instead of echo?

I think print() looks better in the code. No difference in performance.

Here's the relevant part of the page template.

//* Add custom loop to list all Communities
add_action( 'genesis_after_loop', 'foundation_do_community_loop', 11 );
function foundation_do_community_loop()
{
	//* Remove floorplan filter
	remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'foundation_community_filter' );
	
	$args = array( 'post_type' => 'rh_community',
								 'posts_per_page' => 10,
								 'orderby' => 'rand'  );
	
	//* Add column classes
	add_filter( 'post_class', 'foundation_loop_classes' );
	
	//* Remove the entry meta in the entry header
	remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 5 );
	
	//* Add the featured image before post entry
	add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'foundation_community_image', 5 );
	
	//* Add extra info after the title
	add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'foundation_community_info', 12 );
	
	//* Add permalink button after entry
	add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'foundation_permalink_button', 15 );
	
	//* Remove the entry meta in the entry footer
	remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_open', 5 );
	remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );
	remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_close', 15 );
	
	print( '<div class="communities">' );
	genesis_custom_loop( $args );
	print( '</div>' );
	
	print( '<div class="communities">' );
	$comms = get_posts( $args );
	print( '<ul>');
	foreach( $comms as $com )
	{
		printf('<li>%s</li>', apply_filters('the_title', $com->post_title ) );
	}
	print( '</ul>' );
	print( '</div>' );

}

I removed some of your actions because the code wasn't included making them causes errors.

Thanks for you work, brad.

There must be something else in my code somewhere, 'cause that still ain't working. I'm going to have to start parsing thru other files to make sure there's no filters at work that I don't know about.

[lagomdesign]

Found it.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks again for the work!

By the way … is there a reason to use echo over print?

[Brad Dalton]

Yes but i forget why! hahaha. Will post back here when i remember.

I don't think its a huge deal but haven't seen print used before so you're coding is unique!

I did change the post type as i tested on Exec Pro so i guess you picked that up.
