I wrote a query:

WP_Query(array('post_type'=>'portfolio_item', 'post_status'=>'publish', 'posts_per_page'=>-5));

which works and does what I want except it sorts the results from oldest to newest, and I want them to appear newest to oldest. What can I add to the query parameters to make this happen?

WP_Query(array('post_type'=>'portfolio_item', 'post_status'=>'publish', 'posts_per_page'=>-5, 'order' => 'ASC'));

See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

for order parameters.

Hope that helps.

  • that seems like exactly what I am looking for so I don't know why it didnt work. I tried 'order' => 'DESC' and its of them changed anything. The widget containing the query is still printing the portfolio_items starting from the beginning.
