Hi @crushdg

You can easily sort the posts after the query because they are returned as an array.

The query_posts function will override the post objects, for the global $wp_query object. You can access the posts like so:

global $wp_query;

$current_posts = $wp_query->posts;

You can then use some PHP to loop over the posts and re-order them. There are lots of different ways to re-order an array which I will leave with you to research and discover as this is more of a general WP question now.

Hope that helps.

Thanks
