Hierarchical Posts with Nested Query Loops in Bricks

A user asked:

Hi there, I'm looking for a couple of tutorials...I have a CPT and inside there are a bunch of posts, and some of those posts have children.

I need to adapt the query on the archive page to ONLY show the parents.

I also need another query that I can put inside the above query to show links to the CHILDREN (if there are any).  I think I can use this tutorial to do that:

Thank you!

This Pro tutorial provides the steps to output child posts grouped under their parent post of a CPT in Bricks using nested query loops.

Posts list:

After implementing the tutorial:

We shall order the

  • parent posts in the outer query loop in ascending order of post titles
  • child posts in the inner query loop in descending order of post publish dates (the default)

It is possible to change the order for both query loops depending on the requirements.

Copy the JSON below the screenshot and paste in your Bricks Page/template.

This is a BricksLabs Pro tutorial.
