Hello, is there any updates on the query sorting issue, it is still present? We are currently using a hacky usort workaround so we could launch the site. Here is some additional information if it helps:

How to replicate
1. Install WP
2. Use the default Twenty Twenty-Two, Twenty Twenty-Three, or Twenty Twenty-Four theme.
3. Add Posts for testing
4. Add Lazy block
5. Add Lazy block template to theme folder /twentytwentyfour/blocks/lazyblock-test/block.php
6. Query posts with get_posts() or WP_Query()

I have verified that there is not any hooks like pre_get_posts, and all queries are properly reset in Twenty Twenty-Two, Twenty Twenty-Three, or Twenty Twenty-Four themes that could be causing issues.

Here is some additional queries that are being ignored.

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'orderby' => 'title',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = get_posts($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'orderby' => 'title',
	'order' => 'DESC',
);
$custom_posts = get_posts($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'orderby' => 'ID',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = get_posts($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'orderby' => 'author',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = get_posts($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'orderby' => 'type',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = get_posts($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'orderby' => 'parent',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = get_posts($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'title',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);


$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'date',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'name',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'modified',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'menu_order',
	'order' => 'ASC',
);
$custom_posts = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'orderby' => 'rand',
);
$custom_posts = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($custom_posts);

I’m not 100% sure what you are after so I included screenshots of everything:

Front End:

Back End:

Divi:

WP Carousel:

Thanks for the quick response!

I missed that option in the docs but that should work!

We tested without any other plugins so it was not a plugin conflict. We ended up modifying the plugin to enqueue jQuery in the recommended way. That solved the issue as jQuery was not being used on any other part of the website.

Also, to answer your first comment, despite the wp_users table being auto incremented you can manually force ID’s.

I have not had time to test and it has been a while since i’ve needed to do anything like this but I would look into two (2) things:

#1) wp_insert_user(). This function accepts an ID but I do not remember if it will use the ID when creating a new user (if unable to update).

#2) global $wpdb->insert(). I recall this can cause all kinds of issues if not done correctly. but you should be able to insert into the users and usermeta tables. Something like:

global $wpdb;

// User ID to use
$user_id = 3;

// Insert the user into wp_users
$wpdb->insert(
	$wpdb->prefix . 'users',
	array(
		'ID' => $user_id,
		'user_login' => '[email protected]',
	)
);

// Set the wp_usermeta with the custom user ID
$wpdb->insert(
	$wpdb->prefix . 'usermeta',
	array(
		'user_id' => $user_id,
		'meta_key' => 'user_custom_description',
		'meta_value' => 'custom description',
	)
);

There is some samples in the docs that do almost this exact thing:
https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/classes/wpdb/insert/

No Worries!

Sounds good and thanks for the quick response!

Reindexing Users is not safe to do. Any post or page that has a user assigned in the post meta will no longer be linked correctly. It also breaks plugins that use user IDs for identifying/managing capabilities and roles.

A good example of a plugin that stores the user id is ACF:
