 * Hello
 * I use WP_Query() with a predefined $Arg array()
    Like $q = array( “paged”=>$var_paged,“
   post_per_page”=>$var_paged, “orderby”=>$var_orderby, “order” => $var_order);
 * Before I pass the $q var I see in my debugger the right values.
 * Then a call new Wp_Query($q), that works for the order, vars paged and post_per_page,
   but orderby is ignored.
 * If a do
    $query = new WP_Query( array ( ‘orderby’ => ‘title’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’))
   it works …. why is there a different, I did not try it with paged etc.
 * Also I like to know how to pass a date range to WP_Query.
 * Now I use add_filter like $filter = add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘filter_where’);
   
   where filter where returns this string $where .= ‘ AND post_date >= “‘.$_GET[‘
   iDate’].'” AND post_date <= “‘.$_GET[‘oDate’].'” ‘ ;
 * My idea is that there are several solutions to query WordPress and that I mix-
   up that in a way it not works correct.
 * I hope someone can help me out.

 * Found, fieldname where false.
    With debugging query.php I found the fault. Orderby
   title is not orderby post_title but just orderby title!
