Topics for particular software or systems: Start your topic link with the name of the application or system.
For example “MacOS X – Your question“, or “MS Word – Your Tip or Trick“.
Please note that switching to another language when reading a post will not bring you to the same post, in Dutch, as there is no translation for that post!
For those who use custom fields in their posts in their posts, how do you sort posts by those custom fields?
For example, here at Tweaking4All I used 2 custom fields: ShortTitle and ShortText.
I use them in the menu tree in the sidebar on the left so that I can use full-size titles and descriptions for the regular articles, but short titles and descriptions in the menu tree.
If you have only one custom field simply add to the "query".
orderby=meta_value
If you have multiple custom fields then you can specify which one to use, for example:
get_posts('meta_key=ShortTitle&orderby=meta_value');
Note: when adding the "meta_key=" you will limit the output to the posts that actually have this field defined.
Even vergeten de referentie pagina van de WordPress codex te plaatsen: get_posts.
