 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="54783"
 Posts, Post Types: Revert `get_page_by_title()`'s use of `WP_Query`.

 Revert to legacy database query in `get_pages_by_title()`. Due to the lack
 of `orderby` clause in the previous database query, it is not possible to
 gain consistent results by converting the function to a `WP_Query`
 wrapper.

 Merges [54782] to the 6.1 branch.
 Fixes #57039, #56991.
 See #57041.
