Limit excerpts of post types - php

Question

I have two post types, the regular posts and a custom post type. Everything is working fine and I show only 5 posts. One as a full post and four as excerpts. The problem I have is that the excerpts is showing the latest posts, independent of post category. I want to show two of the posts and two of the custom post type.
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'tutorial' ),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
$count = 0;
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
if ( $count == 0 ) { ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content();
$count ++;
} else { ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt();
}
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
Expected output should be the latest post as a full post, as it is working now. Then it should display the two latest posts of post type post and two latest posts of post type tutorial.

Answer 1

Basicly you only need to sort by posttype
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'tutorial' ),
'orderby' => 'post_type',
'order' => 'ASC',
);
If you want to keep the sorting of date as a secondary sort this should work (not tested).
$args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'tutorial' ),
'orderby' => array ('post_type' => 'ASC', 'order' => 'DESC' ),
);
For more information check the WP_Query documentation
Keep in mind that if you have 5 posts newer then any of your tutorials, none will show.
To guarantee 3 posts and 2 tutorials you will need to split the code in 2 wp_query loops with the posts_per_page parameter.
