I have set the order by "Date" for my Post Slider. But how do I change the order to Ascending instead of descending?

I assume it is to be set in the PHP but would you give me some advice on how?

Thanks!

   Hello,

   yes, you'll need to use php filter http://help.dimsemenov.com/kb/wordpress-royalslider-advanced/wp-mod...

   function newrs_custom_query($args, $index) {
       $args['order'] = 'DESC';
       return $args;
   }
   add_filter('new_royalslider_posts_slider_query_args', 'newrs_custom_query', 10, 2);

   Hi Dmitry,

   I'm again trying to sort post by date in an ascending order in Royal Slider, but it is not working. I added exactly this to function.php :

   // royalslider Add ASC order
   function newrs_custom_query($args, $index) {
       $args['order'] = 'ASC';
       return $args;
   }
   add_filter('new_royalslider_posts_slider_query_args', 'newrs_custom_query', 3);

   The slider ID is 3. I cleared cache and go back to RS and there is no change. Sorry I'm not really a coder and don't fully understand php filter. I may need more instructions...

   The code looks correct. It'll apply only on the frontend (when embedded on some page), are you testing on the actual website?

   You can try some other parameters just to test, for example:

   function newrs_custom_query($args, $index) {
       $args['posts_per_page'] = 3; // limit to 3 slides
       return $args;
   }
   add_filter('new_royalslider_posts_slider_query_args', 'newrs_custom_query', 3);
