    I am currently developing a theme and need to sort each post with a numeber(not post ID).
    for example: there are 10 posts in frontpage, then the first post get an attribute like “article-1”, the second “article-2”, the third article “article-3″… likewise. when we click to page2, the first post in page2 also gets a attribute “article-1″… that means in each page the post number still from 1, 2, 3…

    Try something like:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : $c = 0;
$new_class = 'article';
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$c++?;
$new_class .= '-' . $c;>
<div <?php post_class($new_class); ?>>
<!-- do stuff ... -->
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    thanks. i tried your code but didn’t work.
    I changed a little like below:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : $count = 0; ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $count++; ?>
  <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="article-<?php echo $count; ?>">
  <!-- codes ... -->
  </article>

    when i checked the frontend, only show class=”article-“, no number displayed.

    can you please help?

    On the face of it, I can’t see any obvious reason why your code should not work. Or mine, for that matter…
