The results of an investigation of the wakefield around a stationary charged grain in an external magnetic field with non-zero transverse component with respect to the ion flow direction is presented. In contrast to the previously reported significant suppression of the wake oscillations due to the magnetic field applied along the flow, the wake potential exhibits long range recurrent oscillations in the presence a of transverse flow to the magnetic field. Extensive analysis for a wide range of parameters elucidate a strong dependence of the wake on the orientation of the magnetic field in the sonic and supersonic regimes by manifesting sensitivity to even a meager deviation of magnetic field from the longitudinal direction. The impact of the orientation and strength of magnetic field on the wake behavior is assessed. The deviation of the magnetic field induction vector from the longitudinal to ion flux direction leads to the wakefield with two positive peaks split in the transverse to ion flow direction in the downstream region; similar to that of the ultracold ions wake without magnetic field [(2020) New J. Phys.22 033028].
