Reorder Testimonials

I figured out that I needed to uncheck the “randomize” button in the settings that I thought was only for the rotator and not the archives page. Is there way to let the rotator be random while the archives are displayed in a specific order?

Here is a code snippit you can play with:

function hg_testimonial_rotator_order_archive( $query )
{
	if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_post_type_archive( "testimonial" ) )
	{
		$query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
		$query->set( 'order_by', 'menu_order' );
	}
	return $query;
}

add_filter( "pre_get_posts", "hg_testimonial_rotator_order_archive" );

I believe the query->set part matches the same stuff you would do in a query_posts: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/query_posts#Parameters

Hope this helps,
