Sort edit posts listing in dashboard – is it possible?

  • Does anyone know of a plugin that will enable me to sort the edit posts menu in the WP dashboard? I’m using WordPress for content management and each post refers to an individual item – I’d like to be able to sort them by category rather than date added. Have searched for something which will done this and nothing so far so would be very grateful for any help.

  • Might not find something that does that, but you do know you can ‘filter’ on a particular category in the Posts->Edit screen?

    Joezy, what you are trying to do isn’t impossible. I’ve done something similar. It isn’t simple though. You’ll need to figure out the post_* filters. I also added a core hack to edit.php (I know. I know. Shameful.) which makes upgrading a pain so next go round I’m going to try to figure out a way to avoid that.

    It isn’t simple though. You’ll need to figure out the post_* filters.

    Compounded by the fact query_posts does not sort posts by category…and that there can be more than one category per post.

    MichaelH is right. I only mentioned part of what you’d get yourself into. This is not a simple thing you are trying to do, Joezy.
