Wordpress loop for multiple custom post types

Question

Looking for a way to loop through multiple custom post types and get the 4 most recent posts.

I have the below but doesn't quite work as if you 2 posts of the same post type, it'll show the most recent rather than showing most recent of ALL custom posts.

$args = array('post_type' => array('cs_trainee', 'cs_graduates', 'cs_pros', 'sd_trainee', 'sd_graduates'), 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC');
$careers = new WP_Query( $args );

Thanks

Just change the query_posts parameters a bit....

query_posts( array(
 'post_type' => array( 'post', 'report', 'opinion', bookmark' ),
 'cat' => 3,
 'orderby' => 'date',
 'order' => 'DESC',
 'showposts' => 5 )
 );

That should take care of it for you.

This worked great however the orderby and order doesn't seem to do anything. Trying to order by post date and in DESC order but makes no difference - do you know why?

I have modified query_posts so you can try this.
