  Hi –

  We’ve created a text box on our main page by using Text widget, and currently have all our posts listed in there by using the following code: [archives type=postbypost limit=999] . Is there a way to sort these alphabetically?

  The page is here: http://indiepopfever.com

  Thanks in advance

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are two sort attributes for the short code, asc and desc. I have no idea what the differences are because I’ve not played with them.

  If those do not work, then there is no other way to sort them.

  Thanks for your reply, Sacredpath –

  ASC is ascending, DESC, decending. Both still display your list in chronological (not alphabetical) order.

  There may not be a way to do this in a Text widget (yet) – Thanks again for the reply, though.

  The archives shortcode was implemented off of existing archive functions built into wordpress, and that function only sorts by date.
