 * Hi all,
 * hope you are all doing fine. My question for you is:
 * I have this query:
 *     ```
                                       $categoryquery_args = array(
                                           'post_type' => array('movie', 'formule', 'post'),
                                           'post_status' => 'publish',
                                           'nopaging' => true,
                                           'order' => 'ASC',
                                           'orderby' => 'type'
                                       )
       ```
   
 * I want to make sure that all movies are displayed first in the search results.
   But there’s no way to say “orderby => ‘movie'”. That doesn’t work.
 * All ideas welcome!
 * kind regards

 * Reading [https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
   it seems that an easy way would be to name the movie type so it would sort first.
   
   There is also the `relevance` parameter, but it only looks at titles and content.

 * Oh thank you [@joyously](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/), I will
   have a try with that one. Maybe it is an easy fix, although it will require some
   scaffolding 😉

 * Not sure what you mean, since I was saying to rename the movie post type to something
   like amovie, so it comes out first. The WP_Query reference is just so you can
   see what all the options are for your query.
