How to set the order of get_user_favorites()

[dhruveonmars]

Is there a way to get the posts ordered by the order they were favourited in? I'm using get_user_favorites() with some filters to get posts of a particular category.

I've noticed when using the shortcode [user_favorites user_id="" include_links="true" site_id="" include_buttons="false" post_types="post" include_thumbnails="false" thumbnail_size="thumbnail" include_excerpt="false"] it displays the posts, with the most recently favourited at the bottom and the oldest at the top.

I am using the get_user_favorites() function as I have a more customised view, and would like to order it with the most recently favourited item at the top and oldest at the bottom.

Any help is appreciated

Hey, I found this post which should solve your issue: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-the-order-of-favorites-list/

@Sarah1101 Thanks, though this only reverses the order returned when you use the shortcode [user_favorites user_id="" include_links="true" site_id="" include_buttons="false" post_types="post" include_thumbnails="false" thumbnail_size="thumbnail" include_excerpt="false"], but it doesn't affect the order when you use the function get_user_favorites().

That seems to be using the default order, which is the date published.

@dhruveonmars Hey, I'm using solution 2 of the post (return array_reverse($favorites);). The order in get_user_favorites() is affected too.

@Sarah1101 Thanks! After doing that, and some more testing, it appeared the issue was using include rather than post__in as mentioned on WP StackExchange.

What I have also done is array_reverse the array that gets returned in my code, rather than modify the plugin
