This code reads the category number from the array $catID. For each Category in $catID, the code queries only the first $rowLimit posts. Then it merges each query ($thisquery) into $lastposts.

foreach ($catID as $thiscatID)
{
    if (is_numeric($thiscatID))
    {
        $post_args['cat'] = $thiscatID;
        $post_args['post_type'] = $postType;
        if ($rowLimit)
        {
            $post_args['numberposts'] = $rowLimit;
        }
        $thisposts = get_posts($post_args);
        $lastposts = array_merge($lastposts, $thisposts);   
    }
}

But then, I must sort the $lastposts array by date, and I have no clues how I can do that.

`Foreach ... Next`? You sure this is PHP? – deceze Feb 25 '12 at 13:47

@deceze Can you imagine what the evil spawn of PHP & Visual Basic would be like? – Michael Berkowski Feb 25 '12 at 13:49
Sorry Foreach .. endforeach.. I am a VB programmer by training, as you may have guessed.. – user1232551 Feb 25 '12 at 13:51
Added this to the code: usort($lastposts, sorter); – user1232551 Feb 25 '12 at 14:06
usort($lastposts, sorter); function sorter($one, $two) { return ($one['post_date_gmt'] > $two['post_date_gmt']); } – user1232551 Feb 25 '12 at 14:07
