Filter: bricks/query_filters/sort_query_vars

Filters the query variables generated by an active “Sort” filter element. This allows you to implement custom sorting logic (e.g., sorting by a custom meta key or a calculated value).

Parameters

• $query_vars (array): The WP_Query arguments generated by the sort filter (e.g., ['orderby' => '...', 'order' => '...']).
• $filter (array): The active filter data, including selected sort option.
• $query_id (string): The ID of the query loop being sorted.
• $filter_index (int): The index of this filter in the active filters list.

Example usage

add_filter( 'bricks/query_filters/sort_query_vars', function( $query_vars, $filter, $query_id, $filter_index ) {
    // Example: Custom sort by 'popularity'
    if ( $filter['value'] === 'popularity' ) {
        $query_vars['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
        $query_vars['meta_key'] = 'post_views_count';
        $query_vars['order'] = 'DESC';
    }

    return $query_vars;
}, 10, 4 );
