/**

 */

}
add_filter('ak_pagelist_sort_column', 'my_pagelist_pageby');

Filters the field name we want to order the posts by. You have to take into consideration that these are the field names passed to the WordPress query, and it changes also which posts are shown. If you're listing 5 posts, you will get the first five posts using this order.

Valid keys to return are: author, date, category, title, modified, ID, rand (This last to retrieve random posts).

/**
 * Changes the list of pages to be ordered by modified date.
 * (Will show the first 5 posts using this orderby)
 */
function my_pagelist_post_orderby( $orderby ) {
 
    return 'modified';
}
add_filter('ak_pagelist_post_orderby', 'my_pagelist_orderby');

Changes the order for the list to ascending or descending. Valid keys to return are ASC or DESC.

/**
 * Set the post list to Ascending order, and show the first posts in this order.
 */
function my_pagelist_post_order( $orderby ) {
 
    return 'ASC';
}
add_filter('ak_pagelist_post_order', 'my_pagelist_order');
