query_posts doesn't order by title

Question

It seems like stupid bug, but how can i order by title? It anyways orders by date! I'm using:

query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'page', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' ) ); 

I want to use this in function as SHORTCODE. What i'm trying to achieve is to create site map / index of all entries in alphabetic order. Also i'm using newest WP.

Thanks to Chip Bennett who told me that i'm doing wrong by using query_posts inside content. So i used get_posts and i got what i wanted, thanks!

Here is sample of how can you do it, if you got the same problem as me:

function some_name(){ global $post; $tmp_post = $post; $args = array( 'post_type'=>'page', 'numberposts' => -1, 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' ); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); if ( !empty($myposts) ) { foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); the_title(); echo '<br>'; endforeach; } $post = $tmp_post; }

Another post has this code inside a function, but for those looking to simply add alphabetized posts to a custom theme, for example, you can use the following...

<?php // Alphabetize posts from the *** category global $post; $temp_post = $post; $args = array( 'category' => *categoryID*, 'numberposts' => -1, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' ); $these_posts = get_posts( $args ); if( !empty($these_posts) ) { foreach( $these_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <?php /* HTML/PHP code goes here to display each post */ the_title("<h2>", "</h2>"); the_content("<div class='content'>", "</div>"); ?> <?php endforeach; // End of The Loop. } $post = $temp_post; ?>
