It is not uncommon for a WordPress blog to display a list of all posts in an alphabetical order. I was using <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost');?><\/code> to display all posts by post title but I couldn't find a way to sort the post titles in an alphabetical order. After looking at the source code (general-templates.php), I noticed that WordPress already has a built-in functionality that does that. All you need to do is replace postbypost <\/code>with alpha <\/code>and it will displays all posts in an alphabetical order of the post title. Not sure why it isn't mentioned in wp get archives<\/a> Template Tags page. <\/p>\n

Usage demo:<\/strong><\/p>\n

in sidebar.php<\/p>\n

<div id="archive">
\n<h2 class="title">Archive<\/h2>

\n<ul>
\n<?php wp_get_archives('type=alpha');?>
