How to make default order list using meta for custom status?

patrick

I'm creating "Priority Order" will immediately add _priority_list a named priority list when the company changes status to "Priority Order" Number based on how many orders priority orders are placed, This is the code I am using

function filter_priority_orders() {
    global $pagenow;
    $qv = &$query->query_vars;

    if ( $pagenow == 'edit.php' && isset($qv['post_status']) && $qv['post_status'] == 'wc-priority-order' ) {            
        $query->set('meta_key', '_priority_list');
        $query->set('order_by', '_priority_list');
    }

    return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'filter_priority_orders' );

You can set the order list by minor modification on your codes.

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'filter_priority_orders' );
function filter_priority_orders($query) {
    global $pagenow;
    $qv = $query->query_vars;

    if ( $pagenow == 'edit.php' && 
        isset($qv['post_status']) && $qv['post_status'] == 'wc-priority-order' && 
        isset($qv['post_type']) && $qv['post_type'] == 'shop_order' 
    ) 
    {            
        $query->set('meta_key', '_priority_list');
        $query->set('orderby', 'meta_value_num');
        $query->set('order', 'ASC' );
    }

    return $query;
}
