sortable columns on front-end for users

    Hi thanks for a great plugin!

    It’s great to have sortable columns on the admin backend to sort job titles, locations, etc. by ASC or DESC alphabetical order.

    However, do you plan on bringing this same type of simple sort / filter to the front-end? That way web visitors can sort thru many job listings easily by either title or location?

    Is this something that is in the works, or easy to achieve with some custom code?

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    James,

    You can do this in the [jobs] shortcode itself. So to sort by title, for example:

    [jobs orderby=”title”]

    It defaults to ‘date’, but also supports title, ID, name, modified, parent, and rand.

    There’s no way to do this dynamically though, so once you’ve chosen one, the users won’t be able to change it on the frontend.

    Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with! ?? Thanks!

    Hi Adam,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I was afraid you would say that!

    Any plans to add this feature, which would allow users to change the way it sorts on the frontend? Same way you have it in the backend: clickable header links to change from ASC to DESC order.

    It would be a great addition.. especially for users sifting through lots of listings. I also haven’t found any other WP job boards which have this feature, so adding it would be a clear advantage for your plugin ecosystem.

    Thanks again!

    I don’t think so, no. ?? Sorry!

    Hi Adam and James,

    That is really something I’m also looking for.

    I believe that what james proposed was something just like we see on ebay and woocommerce, that after filter is applied, you can also ordeer by price, newest first, etc…

    It would be a really good improvement =)
