I have Size as an optional field and filter and I noticed the sorting is alphabetical.
So I have sizes for example in this order: 10 years, 104, 42, S, M, L, XL, XS etc.
I would like a sorting order like: 10 years, 42, 104, S, M, L, XL, XS
Or maybe even better: XS, S, M, L, XL, 42, 104, 10 years. But I guess this would be very complicated also maintaining it.
How could this be done?
Hi Marco,
PHP's usort() function is handy for this kind of scenario. A look-up table can be created with a weighting value for each size and then used in a usort callback function.
In the modified pto_search.php that you are using to show filters for custom fields, look for the following code at line 865:
function pto_search_filters_html()...and REPLACE with:
$pto_sizeWeighting = array("XS"=>0,"S"=>1,"M"=>2,"L"=>3,"XL"=>4,"42"=>5,"104"=>6,"10 years"=>7);function pto_cmpSize($a, $b)
{
global $pto_sizeWeighting;
if (!isset($pto_sizeWeighting[$a->size])) $pto_sizeWeighting[$a->size] = 999;
if (!isset($pto_sizeWeighting[$b->size])) $pto_sizeWeighting[$b->size] = 999;
if ($pto_sizeWeighting[$a->size] == $pto_sizeWeighting[$b->size])
{
return 0;
}
return ($pto_sizeWeighting[$a->size] < $pto_sizeWeighting[$b->size]) ? -1 : 1;
}
function pto_search_filters_html()
And then the following code at line 977:
$html_filter = "";...and REPLACE with:
if ($filter == "size"){
usort($wpdb->last_result,"pto_cmpSize");
}
$html_filter = "";
Any values not in the $pto_sizeWeighting array will sort with a weighting of 999 so will be pushed to the of the selection...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
