If you ever guest blog for anyone running WordPress or own a multi-author blog it can sometimes get frustrating when you just want to find out the last posts you wrote or see a list of posts written by a certain author. Problem is, there is no sort posts by author in WordPress admin panel. It used to be there but was removed in the great 2.5 update that threw the whole admin panel out of whack.
You can also get plugins to do the job for you, but that won’t help if you’re just a guest author at the blog. Here’s a quick trick to help you pull up posts by a single author.
When you’re logged in, go to the Manage >> Posts tab. In the list of posts, find the name of the author you want to look up. Click on the name and you’ll get the list of all posts by that author.
