Trump and 18 others were convicted in August of alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the southeastern US state.
Trump has pleaded not guilty and has criticized the cases against him as part of a politically motivated effort to prevent him from retaking the White House.
The Georgia Court of Appeals' order was issued on Wednesday after the court earlier this week set a possible October hearing date for the appeal, Xinhua news agency reported.
Trump and several co-defendants in the case have argued that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's relationship with then-Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade resulted in a conflict of interest.
Trump and some of his co-defendants in the broader racketeering case are trying to disqualify Willis from the case because of her romantic relationship with Wade, CNN reports. The prosecutor was hired.The defendants argued that Willis benefited financially from the relationship with Wade, with defense attorneys saying she covered several vacations for the couple.
The new order is the latest indication that a trial in the state-level Georgia election sabotage case will not take place before the 2024 presidential election, CNN reported.
Trump, the Republican Party's presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, has been convicted on four criminal counts, and two have been indicted separately by state prosecutors in New York and Georgia. The Georgia case is the fourth criminal case brought against Trump.
The Georgia Court of Appeals' order came just days after Trump was found guilty in the first criminal trial of a former president in US history.Trump was convicted of serious crimes by a jury in New York last week on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide a hush-money payment to a porn star in 2016, shortly before the presidential election.
