  • What do I need to change to make the page listing in the admin sort by date by default instead of title.

  • Hey dtmp, did you get a solution for this?

    Ultimately I was able to do this by adding the following to functions.php

    /*———————————————————————————–*/
    /* Order Admin Pages by Date by Default
    /*———————————————————————————–*/

    function set_post_order_in_admin( $wp_query ) {
global $pagenow;
  if ( is_admin() && 'edit.php' == $pagenow && !isset($_GET['orderby'])) {
    $wp_query->set( 'orderby', 'date' );
    $wp_query->set( 'order', 'DSC' );
  }
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'set_post_order_in_admin' );

    Pariahdecss solution worked for me. Thanks
