Does anybody know why posts cannot be sorted by date when the ‘cat’ query parameters is specified in the URL? Note that this is not an issue when the category is filtered using the categories filter menu on the page, only when cat is specified in the url.
E.g. https://mywebsite.com/edit.php?cat=9&orderby=date&order=desc
If cat is specified in the URL, then not only is the orderby and order parameter ignored, the sort arrows within the post list header don’t function either.
Everything works fine if I don’t include cat in the URL.
