    Hello,
    I’ve encountered a problem with the sorting by name (alphabet) in Staff list Search extension (premium support form is not working (failed to send)) – if the first character is outside the English alphabet (e.g. “?”) it is placed at the end after Z. You can see the problem on the following page:

    Am I setting something wrong, or is this a technical problem you haven’t accounted for yet? Would it be possible to fix it somehow?

    Thank you for your help

    Staff List Tables use JavaScript to sort the records on front end. Unfortunately you will often find the default sorting unsatisfactory. Language specific characters (accented – diacritics) have high ASCII values and is therefore typically sorted to the bottom alphabetically.

    We’ll look into modifying the script with localeCompare option or maybe some other custom code.

    I’m deciding whether to keep the solution using your plugin or look for another solution. Alphabetizing (local) is now top priority, without it the plugin is unusable for me. Will the modification be available in the short term (1-2 weeks)?

    1. This feature has been already implemented in Staff List Table plugin (tested with Czech alphabet).

    2. Seems you are not using Staff List Table but other plugin, version 0.7.1. It has been discontinued almost three years ago and is no longer supported.

    3. Since you’re not able or willing to contact us directly, I would suggest to start looking for another solution.

    1. ok, that is great, I would like to test it, but…
    2. how can I download new version? It is only possible to do automatic updates of Staff list PRO, but Staff list search do not has the option for automatic update.
    3. I would like to contact you directly through support on your website, but it failed when I tried to send a message.
