get_posts array parameters not changing

    Hello everyone

    I have looked around for problems similar to mine but I can’t seem to find any solutions. I am using the get_posts function with the parameter array found at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/get_posts

    The way I am using the array is like this:

    
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'offset' => 0, 'category' => 9, 'orderby' => 'ID', 'order' => 'ASC'  );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );

    It returns the category I select but I can change the other parameters such as “orderby” and “order” and it makes no difference on the order of the posts. “posts-per_page” and “offset” do change what is returned.

    Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated!

    Your code is fine. More than likely some other code is altering your arguments through an action or filter, such as “pre_get_posts”. You can narrow down the source by disabling all plugins and switching to the twentysixteen theme. Add you code to a template file. Maintain a clean copy to restore to the theme. The ordering should work fine.

    Switch back to your theme and retest. Activate plugins one at a time, testing after each. When you ordering fails, the last activated code is the problem.

    So sorry about the late reply!

    Thank you for the advice, although I didn’t read it at the time it is what I ended up doing ??

    I was using a re-ordering plugin to change the order of posts. After disabling this plugin everything started working correctly again.

    Thanks again!
