 * Hi guys,
 * I am doing a series of loops which uses:
 * `$myposts = get_posts("category=$category->id");`
 * However I need to do something like:
 * `$myposts .= get_posts("category=$category->id");` so the var $myposts is added
   to on each loop. I then need to re-order $myposts by published date and re-loop.
 * Any idea how I can achieve this?
 * Thanks,
 * Dave

 * Use array_merge() to combine the results of each call to get_posts() into a single,
   large array. You can then use usort() to sort the resulting array by some underlying
   object property such as publish date.
