Hi,
I am using the GUI for the Search & Filter PRO, but it doesn’t seem that the ‘Order terms by’ is working. I have a custom taxonomy set as a Multi-select Combobox, and I have the Order terms by set to Name DESC, but no matter what I change it always orders by the term ID.

Sorting by ID instead of Name

Hi there

That is odd.

Does this happen with any field you try to use?

I think you have another plugin modifying the dropdowns.

S&F uses the standard WP function get_terms – to get the terms of a taxonomy.

Here we pass in the “order by” stuff – however, there is a WP filter that allows you to modify the order:

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/get_terms_orderby/

So if you theme, or any other plugin is using this, then it is probably overwriting the order S&F is trying to use.

I would test on another theme, and also disable other plugins to track down the cause of this.

Thanks

Yes, our theme had a add_filter( ‘get_terms_orderby’, ‘pa_reorder_front_end_tax’ ); in it. I commented it out and it is all working now.

Thanks for the help!
