Hello,

I use Pods for a website where I archive interviews. One of my Pods is called ‘Province’, and I have 29 different provinces.

I have created this template to generate a list of interviewees from a province:
```
<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
       <div class="col-9">
           [if interviewee_born]
	      <h3>List of Interviewees</h3>
		  [each interviewee_born]
		     <li><a href="{@interviewee_born.permalink}">{@post_title}</a></li>
		   [/each]
	   [/if]
	</div>
        <div class="col-3">
	   [if google_map_link]
	      {@google_map_link}
	   [/if]
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
```
Under the Auto Template Options, I have this set as the template for the ‘Province’ Pod, and currently, that setting generates 29 pages (for the 29 different provinces) with the names of the interviewees from that province.

I would like to alphabetically sort the names of these interviewees. Is that possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

Perhaps try adding the orderby parameter to the shortcode calling your template. e.g.:
orderby="t.post_title DESC"

See https://docs.pods.io/code/pods/find/find-reference-table/ and https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/

Hi Paul!

For these pages, I’m not using any shortcode to call the template.

I connected the template to the Pod through the Auto Template, and that automatically generated the pages for each province along with the list of interviewees from that province.

Ah, got it. Not sure — repeating your question in the Pods Support Slack.

Here’s the thread in Slack: https://podswp.slack.com/archives/C02SVLHQF/p1633556926442200 (via https://support.pods.io/chat/ )

Here’s a thread on Stack Exchange with some code that might be helpful —?if they’re just standard archive pages, then it would be the normal archive queries, which can be modified with the pre_get_post filter: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/180609

Here’s some additional code that might do what you’re looking for —?sort posts by title on the archive pages: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/272072

Scott says:

No not currently but I plan on adding the ability to create custom queries and integrate that with Auto Templates for Archives too

Hey Paul!

Thank you so much for the information. I’ll check those threads out, and I look forward to seeing that update in the future.

Thanks!
