apply_filters_ref_array( 'posts_orderby', string $orderby, WP_Query $this )

Filters the ORDER BY clause of the query.

Parameters

$orderby

(string) The ORDER BY clause of the query.

$this

(WP_Query) The WP_Query instance (passed by reference).

More Information

This filter is applied before a post-retrieving SQL statement is executed. Use it to make custom modifications to the orderby. WP_Query is versatile but there may be situations where you need to orderby a value that is in a separate database, a custom equation, etc.
