On the archive page, I would like to list the most recent files first, and the oldest at the bottom/end. Is there a way to specify this? Thank you for your time and help.
Also, is there a way to do a bulk import of many PDF files without using WP-CLI? Thanks.

Hello Mark,

Is there a way to specify this?

For now archive page should already work as you need it. Default order is descending on field post_date. However if you need to change it somehow you could use the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php:

function pdf_lv_archive_change_orderby( $orderby ) { 
    if (is_post_type_archive(array(PdfLightViewer_PdfController::$type))) { 
        return 'post_date ASC'; 
    } 
    else { 
        return $orderby; 
    } 
} 
add_filter( 'posts_orderby', 'pdf_lv_archive_change_orderby' );

 

Also, is there a way to do a bulk import of many PDF files without using WP-CLI?

Unfortunately, CLI is the only possibility for now.
