Hi Elena

So sorry for the delay. Ive been swamped and missed this.

I had another look and still cant see the issue.

Can you try creating a standard wp query and see if that has the same effect with sorting?

If that doesnt work I think there still might be an issue with the encoding. I believe wp uses utf8_general_ci these days.

Thanks

Hi

I just did a quick and simple install of WordPress and Search & Filter with a simple EDD shop, and added your categories to the products, and then made a form, with the category sorted ascending:

As you can see, all works as you would expect. That means that Search & Filter gets it right. Which means that either the theme or custom code in the functions.php file, or a plugin is doing this.

My database was setup by the host (Cloudways) and uses MariaDB 10 (a fork of MySQL), using utf8mb4_unicode_ci as the collation.

I did try that on yours (it is not hard to change a table from within WordPress, if you know what you are doing), but it made no difference.

What you need to do is what I did in my test. Make a new WP install, add Search & Filter. Add a few posts with some test categories, set the search form up, add the widget or shortcode to a page (in my example I added the form and results shortcode to a page, it looks basic but is quick and dirty).

Hi folks!

I’ve try what you told me about a new installation and didn’t work but i think i have the “problem” closer.

When i use a Post meta ACF to ordering and filter my products the order is wrong, but if i use the same terms as categories they order perfectly. So maybe is something related to the ACF fields? Your example uses categories not ACF too, isn’t it Trevor?

I can’t use categories instead of ACF fields because the initial question.

Again thank you for your help! I hope we can finally find the solution and i wont need to change all the work done 🙂

Regards.

Hi Trevor!

I’ve just try the pre-release but nothing happens. Anyway i’ve discovered the problem is the “Is ACF Field?” checkbox.

If i uncheck the checkbox the order of the lateral options is correct, not yet the order of my results. Hormonales is still the first result showed before those in a category starting with A.
I’m going to debug a little more to find the problem.

I appreciate if you have any update.

Thank you and regards!

Thank you Trevor.

I can see the problem with the wrong ordering in the list result (not the filter words but the results posts) is a bug related with the “meta value” too.

If i show the posts without an specific order they show right (inverse alphabetically but right), but when i change to order by a meta value i created it shows me first posts that should be in the middle.

Is there any way i can follow the fixation of the bug? That way i could tell about the progression to the client who is asking from time to time.

Cheers!
