Archive listing pages chronologically but storylines reverse-chronologically

[pixel-prism]

For my archive page, I have all the pages listed as thumbnails by storyline, and thankfully all the pages in each storyline are in chronological order!

Unfortunately, the storylines are not in chronological order.

Expected Behavior

I'm looking to get:

• Chapter 1
• Chapter 2
• Chapter 3

Current Behavior

It is currently:

• Chapter 3
• Chapter 2
• Chapter 1

Context

It's not so bad right now with only 3 chapters, but eventually with enough chapters, it's going to be a looooong scroll for new readers to get to Chapter 1.

Example

https://cvilbrandt.naiya.org/archive/

Environment

• Webcomic 5.0.5
• WordPress 4.9.6
• PHP 7.0.30
• Chrome 66.0.3359.139

Hey @pixel-prism, apologies for the trouble. This is another Inkblot issue I need to fix, unfortunately. To force the proper sorting, open up /wp-content/themes/inkblot/template/webcomic-archive.php and find this big block of code (lines 26–34):

$webcomic_arguments = array(
    'collection' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'webcomic_collection', true),
    'webcomics' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_show_webcomics', true),
    'order' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_term_order', true),
    'target' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_term_target', true),
    'webcomic_order' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_order', true),
    'webcomic_image' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_image', true),
    'show_image' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_term_image', true)
);

and add an orderby argument, like:

$webcomic_arguments = array(
    'collection' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'webcomic_collection', true),
    'webcomics' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_show_webcomics', true),
    'order' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_term_order', true),
    'target' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_term_target', true),
    'webcomic_order' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_order', true),
    'webcomic_image' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_image', true),
    'show_image' => get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'inkblot_webcomic_term_image', true),
    'orderby' => 'name'
);
