Sorting Multiple query_posts

  • I have multiple query_posts that query the lastest post and that works just fine, however now I need to be able to sort those query_posts so that they are arranged with the latest query on top. I am very new to WP and PHP so please be aware of that.

    Here is the code I’m working with:

    <div id="newsRightbox">
      <h2>LATEST NEWS</h2>

<ul>
       <?php

query_posts('cat=5&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

<li>
<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo_proquest.jpg" alt="Pro Quest" width="82" height="52" /></a>

<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></b></a><?php the_title(); ?>
          <div class="clear"></div>
           </li>
<?php break; endwhile; ?>

<? query_posts('cat=6&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

<li>
<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo_dialog.jpg" alt="Dialog" width="82" height="52" /></a>

<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></b></a><?php the_title(); ?>
          <div class="clear"></div>
           </li>
<?php break; endwhile; ?>

<? query_posts('cat=7&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

<li>
<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo_bowker.jpg" alt="Bowkar" width="82" height="52" /></a>

<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></b></a><?php the_title();  ?>
          <div class="clear"></div>
           </li>
<?php break; endwhile; ?>

<? query_posts('cat=8&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

<li>
	<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo_navtech.jpg" alt="Navtech" width="82" height="52" /></a>

    <a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></b></a><?php the_title();  ?>
              <div class="clear"></div>
               </li>
<?php break; endwhile; ?>

<? query_posts('cat=9&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

<li>
	<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo_sothebay.jpg" alt="Sotheby's Institute of Art" width="82" height="52" /></a>

    <a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></b></a><?php the_title();  ?>
              <div class="clear"></div>
               </li>
<?php break; endwhile; ?>

<? query_posts('cat=10&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

<a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></b></a><?php the_title();  ?>
          <div class="clear"></div>
           </li>
<?php break; endwhile; ?>

<? query_posts('cat=14&showposts=1&orderby=date&order=DESC');
while (have_posts()): the_post()
?>

  • Here is some sample code that may help.

    Set up the common query arguments:

    $args = array(
  'posts_per_page' => 1,
  'orderby' => 'date',
  'order' => 'DESC',
);

    Then, for each category, use code like this:

    $args['cat'] = 126;
query_posts( $args );
if (have_posts()) {
   while (have_posts()) {
      the_post();
      $myposts[] = $post;
   }
}

    Finally, sort and output the results:

    usort($myposts, function($a, $b) {
   return strcmp($b->post_date, $a->post_date);
   } );
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) {
   setup_postdata($post);
   echo '<br />DATE:' . $post->post_date;
}
