Sort posts by popularity/page views

3 Views

How can I sort posts by popularity or page views in my template file?
I guess I need to count page views first, is there any good plugin to integrate with to sort posts by views or what is the best practice of doing it.

Post Views: 3

  1. The WP Postviews plugin is one of the most used to record post views.

    Then you can sort by amount by;

    <?php if (function_exists('get_most_viewed')): ?>
<ul>
    <?php get_most_viewed(); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

    Or pass in the variables to the URL: 

    http://example.com/?v_sortby=views&amp;v_orderby=desc

    Or even run a custom query that sorts by the post_meta value.
