Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
Apologies for the delay as we currently have a high volume of tickets here in our support forums.
Yes, you can use and customize this filter to set those URLs to noindex:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
$url = home_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
if( (strpos($url,'?orderby=') !== false) ) {
$robots["index"] = 'noindex';
$robots["follow"] = 'nofollow';
}
return $robots;
});
You can add the filter to your theme’s functions.php file or you can follow any of the methods mentioned in the guide below to add this filter to your website:

If there are more parameter/filtered queries like ?orderby=, you can share them here so we can also adjust the filter.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Great, thank you!
And guesing that to change/disable canonical link above I can use:
add_filter( ‘rank_math/frontend/canonical’, function( $canonical ) {
return $canonical;
});
Ok, I saw that when I changed to nofollow, canonical link disapear – thank you!
