NOTE: This plug-in has been incorporated into WordPress core as of version 3.5.<\/p>\n\n

Sort Query by Post In is a very light weight (less than 10 lines of code) plug-in intended for developers executing custom post queries. You're welcome to include it in your theme and redistribute - just offer us some credit, please!<\/p>\n\n

When constructing a WordPress post query in your theme template files or plug-in, WordPress offers the option to explicitly specify the posts to retrieve using the post__in<\/code> parameter. Unfortunately, the orderby<\/code> parameter does not offer an option that will sort the result by the exact order passed in the post__in<\/code> parameter. This plug-in adds a post__in<\/code> option for the orderby<\/code> parameter that will order the result by the exact order specified in the post__in<\/code> parameter.<\/p>\n\n

And don't worry about the plug-in being deactivated - your post queries with the new post__in<\/code> value used for orderby<\/code> will simply gracefully fall back to the default date sorting.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install easily with the WordPress plugin control panel or manually download the plugin and upload the extracted\nfolder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Modify the appropriate post queries with the orderby<\/code> parameter set to post__in<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Example<\/h4>\n\n
    query_posts( array( 'post__in' => array(20,10,106),  'orderby' => 'post__in' ) );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    That will retrieve posts with IDs 20, 10, and 106 in that order!<\/p>\n\n\n
