WP_Query with an array of IDs order by array

1 Views

I have an array of IDs and I want to get that posts by WP_Quey() 

$myarray = $ids;
$args = array( 'post__in' => $myarray);
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

Its, Sort result by date But I want to sort it by $myarray items and first result would be first ID in $myarray

  1. In WordPress 3.5 and up you can use 'orderby'=>'post__in' then you must write this:

    $myarray = $ids;    
$args = array('post__in'=> $myarray, 'orderby'=>'post__in');
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

  2. I know, that my answer is too late, but i have to answer correctly.

    As i tried 'orderby'=>'post__in':

    for example i have dynamically updated cookies, and i must to load products in recently viewed products block in order, that first product in this block must be last viewed.

    OK.

    I had ids 1720, 19626, 19173, 19188.

    $args = array('post__in'=> $myarray, 'orderby'=>'post__in');

    This string in output returned my products in order:

    19626, 19188, 19173, 1720 and its not my order. This cause simply order parameter DESC by default WP_Query. And we have only one another chance – ASC it…very sad answer by M H.

    My answer is simply clever:

    we DO NOT NEED to ‘orderby’=>’post__in’

    we have to get:

    $myarray = $ids;    
$args = array('post__in'=> $myarray);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    After it we do:

    foreach($myarray as $myarray_id){
 while ( $the_query->have_posts()) {
   $the_query->the_post();
   if($post->ID == $myarray_id){
     //DO SOMETHING
   }
 }
}

    That’s it!

  3. Properly transmitting the order:

    $id_array = array(5,2,3,7);

foreach($id_array as $id_array_v)
{
   $query = new WP_Query(array('post__in' => array($id_array_v)));

   while($query -> have_posts())
   {
      $query -> the_post();
      the_title();
   }
}
