list posts in one category in alphabetical order

  • I am trying to list all posts from one category in the sidebar. What I have below isn’t working for me.

    <ul>
<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; query_posts("showposts=100&cat=185&sort=post_title&order=ASC"); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php } $wp_query = $temp_query; ?>
</ul>

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Try it with this:

    query_posts("posts_per_page=100&cat=185&orderby=title&order=ASC");

    Thanks for the response keesiemeijer. That didn’t work either.

    Try it with this:

    <ul>
<?php
$the_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=100&cat=185&orderby=title&order=ASC');
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

    What isn’t working? Does it show a list with posts but not in alphabetical order?

    still the same result..It’s showing the posts, just not in alphabetical order. Thanks!

    Something is interfering with the query.

    Try:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    I think you may be right about the plugin. I am using wp-sticky for this site. I’m afraid to deactivate in fear of losing current stickies, but I looked it up and others are having the same issue. Thanks for looking into it.
