How to sort terms in vocabulary

[Gil]

Hello,

I would like to sort terms of the vocabularies in a particular way

I don’t inderstand how it sorted in admin (in fact not in relation with ‘id’ in DDB) and I can’t modify it…

Do you have any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Gil!

What vocabulary are you referring to? Is it anything created with a particular plugin?

Hello Daniele,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using the plugin SimpleVocabPlus.

Hello Gil.

SimpleVocabPlus plugin’s displayed suggestions are retrieved via the suggestProxyAction() function in controllers/EndpointController.php file.

You might play around with that function’s line

$results = $termTable->findBySql('vocab_id = ? and term like ?',array($svAssign->vocab_id,$term.'%'))

to alter the terms order.

While you’re at there: I’ve created an improved fork of the plugin, still waiting to get it merged with the original one. If you’re interested in trying it, you can find it at https://github.com/DBinaghi/plugin-SimpleVocabPlus

Hope this helps.

No worries.

Fork has been merged into main plugin by now, so you can refer to the original one.

I am using v3.1.2. It seems to be the last one with your improvements
Thanks

Great.

Question for you: would terms sorting still be useful in your opinion, or one should have the terms list sorted before using it?
