Multiple search and sort

Sondo,

Yes, CAPTCHA is in the next major release.

Multiple sort and search in this case is in the [pdb_list] shortcode…I have not changed the “user search/sort” but the two will interact properly.

In your shortcode you can now do something like this:

[pdb_list orderby=”last_name,first_name”]

You can also determine the “direction” of the sort on more than one field:

[pdb_list orderby=”date_recorded,last_name” order=”desc,asc”]

That will sort by date in descending order, and then by last name in ascending order.

You can have as many fields in the sort as you want, and they get sorted in the order given. The default sort order is ascending.

Hi, I’ve put this in and its not sorting properly… actually it loses the sort all together:

[pdb_list orderby=”service_group,company” order=”asc” search=”true” sort=”true” display_count=”true” list_limit=”20″ filter=”vendor=1″]

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much!

Hard to tell. You’re doing it right as far as the shortcode syntax is concerned. You want to share a link to see what it’s doing?

Thanks for the response… here you go:

(at the bottom of the page)
The dropdown box doesn’t show anything… I thought that’s because there are 2 sort fields, but its not working for some reason?

Thank you!

Don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t be sorting. Are you sure that is the shortcode you have on that page?

The two dropdowns for searching and sorting the list looked fine to me. It won’t show the sort from the shortcode, if that’s what you mean.

That’s ok I can’t see both sorts in the dropdown, but it won’t sort multiple columns with the short code?

Yes this is what’s on the bottom of the page, below the other text that’s on there. I’m using a theme – Tersus. But a single sort works fine, just no the multiple.

[pdb_list orderby=”service_group,company” order=”asc” search=”true” sort=”true” display_count=”true” list_limit=”20″ filter=”vendor=1″]

Any ideas? Thanks!

I tired other fields too:

[pdb_list orderby=”last_name,first_name” order=”asc” search=”true” sort=”true” display_count=”true” list_limit=”20″ filter=”vendor=1″]

Sorts with one, not 2. Maybe in the field settings? Can I email you screen shots?

Thanks for the help!

What version of the plugin are you using?

Version 1.4.9.1

Says there is an update to Version 1.4.9.3

Will that fix it?

Yes, that feature went in at 1.4.9.2

I’m so sorry for wasting your time – that worked.

Thanks so much – love the plugin ??
