post object field sort order

Hello…

I have two custom post types which I want to relate to each other. So custom post type “artikel” is a child from “ausgabe”.

I created an custom field called ‘heft’ inside “artikel” to contain the parent information and used post object field type from “post type for a relation. That’s working.

Now, I would like to sort the fields within the select field not in alphabethical order but by publishing date descending.

I tried following your example code

function my_post_object_query( $args, $field, $post )
{
    // modify the order
    $args['orderby'] = 'title desc';

    return $args;
}

// filter for a specific field based on it's name
add_filter('acf/fields/post_object/query/name=heft', 'my_post_object_query', 10, 3);

just to see if it is at all working, but it’s not.

Any advice appreciated.

Hi @hagedorn,

Thanks for the post.

To get this done, you will need the following code:

function my_post_object_query( $args, $field, $post )
{
    // modify the order
    $args['orderby'] = 'date';
    $args['order'] = 'DESC';

    return $args;
}

// filter for a specific field based on it's name
add_filter('acf/fields/post_object/query/name=heft', 'my_post_object_query', 10, 3);

Hello,

I’d like to to that too but It doesn’t seem to work. Did something change since ?

Thanks
