 * Hi there,
 * GREAT plugin thanks. Can you help me figure out how to sort the posts on the 
   archive alphabetically by title instead of by creation date?
 * thanks!

 * You’ll need to modify the main WordPress query to deliver the posts in the order
   you want. Here’s a blog post I wrote about it: [http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/](http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/)

 * I’ve been unsuccessful in my attempts to sort posts in name/title order despite
   my best efforts. See [http://www.mellano.com/preview/protea/](http://www.mellano.com/preview/protea/).
   I’ve reviewed [http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
   and your [http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/](http://www.billerickson.net/customize-the-wordpress-query/),
   but I can’t find the exact code to include in functions.php to accomplish what
   I want, and everything I’ve tried hasn’t worked. Would you poast the exact code
   to sort posts in ascending order by post name, all categories?
 * Thanks. Great plugin.

 * Never mind. Figured it out through trial and error.
