working on directionscounseling.com
if you look at one of the clinician pages such as: https://www.directionscounseling.com/counselors/brenton-beckley/
you will notice that the sidebar is showing all the other clinicians by listing the portfolio items in descending order. I would like this to show in ascending order. I don’t see the option anywhere to change this. How do I change the sort order?

Hey satucker,

Thank you for the inquiry.

This is possible but you will have to directly modify the posts query in the enfold/framework/php/legacy/class-framework-widgets.php file. Please look for this code around line 944.
```
$new_query = array(	"posts_per_page"=>$count, 'tax_query' => array(
														array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term,														   
    'field' => 'id',															   
    'terms' => explode(',', $cat),															   
    'operator' => 'IN')														 
  )														);
```
We have to add the order parameter to the query and set its value to “DESC”.
```
$new_query = array("order" => "DESC", "posts_per_page"=>$count, 'tax_query' => array(
														array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term,	

    'field' => 'id',															   
    'terms' => explode(',', $cat),															   
    'operator' => 'IN')														 
  )														);
```
Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

We edited the code a bit. Please try it again.
```
$new_query = array("order" => "DESC", "posts_per_page"=>$count, 'tax_query' => array(
														array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term,	

    'field' => 'id',															   
    'terms' => explode(',', $cat),															   
    'operator' => 'IN')														 
  )	
```
We just moved the order parameter outside the tax_query.

Best regards,
Ismael

Unfortunately, this does not seem to have done the trick either. Other ideas?

Hi satucker,

Can you try to modify enfold/framework/php/widgets/widget-classes/class-avia-newsbox.php (line 121):
```
$additional_loop = new WP_Query( "cat={$cat}&posts_per_page={$count}" );
```
replace it with:
```
$additional_loop = new WP_Query( "cat={$cat}&posts_per_page={$count}&order=ASC" );
```
Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Nikko

Yes, do I leave the changes I made to the other pho file or do I put back to original code?

Hi satucker,

You can put back the original code on the other files.
Just make sure every time you update the theme, you’ll need to update this file as well since updates remove all changes you made in the Enfold theme.

Best regards,
Nikko

will the changes be lost if they are made in a child theme?

Do i update the main theme file?

Hi,
You will need to update the parent theme file with each update, file in the /framework/php/ directory can not be added you your child theme.

Best regards,
