Hi,

Is it possible to custom order the way search options appear in a dropdown, at the moment the options are in alphabetical order as follows:

<ul class=”chosen-results”>
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 sf-item-0 sf-option-active” data-option-array-index=”0″>Date
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”1″>All Week  (2)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”2″>Fri 13th November  (3)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”3″>Mon 9th November  (4)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 ” data-option-array-index=”4″>Sun 8th November  (14)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 ” data-option-array-index=”5″>Thurs 12th November  (6)
<li class=”active-result result-selected sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”6″>Tues 10th November  (4)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 ” data-option-array-index=”7″>Wed 11th November  (5)

But my client would like it in chronological order:

<ul class=”chosen-results”>
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 sf-item-0 sf-option-active” data-option-array-index=”0″>Date
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”1″>Mon 9th November  (4)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”2″>Tues 10th November  (4)(3)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”3″>Wed 11th November  (5)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 ” data-option-array-index=”4″>Thurs 12th November  (6)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 ” data-option-array-index=”5″>Fri 13th November  (3)
<li class=”active-result result-selected sf-level-0″ data-option-array-index=”6″>Sun 8th November  (14)
<li class=”active-result sf-level-0 ” data-option-array-index=”7″>All Week  (2)

Is this possible to do? Thank you.

Regards.

If it is a Post Meta field, then you can set the source to Manual and drag and drop them. If it is a Taxonomy, then you will need to code a solution. You can use this filter in your child theme’s functions.php file:

To re-order the terms in the field.

I am not sure if it will help, but if there are many snippets already in the forum, this forum search should find them:
