Sorting job listings

I’ve seen this question before somewhere… We sort by menu order so this would require customisation to set this based on the chosen package ??

> Also, is it possible to make the map work with gps coordinates instead of addresses?

The map uses geolocation latitude and longitude based on the input address. Astoundify have a map plugin if you want something more ‘specific’.

Thanks Mike, we fixed the coordinates issue thank you.

I suppose it would have to be some sort of order by setting, in what way is the package attached to the listing? In other words, what attribute?

I see each post has a meta value _wcpl_jmfe_product_id that contains the id of the product. But if I go to wp-job-manager-functions.php and change the order by to _wcpl_jmfe_product_id it doesn’t make any difference.

I would greatly appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.

wp_wcpl_user_packages is from field editor.

_package_id I believe is the one I set.

Hi Mike,

Thank you but I still can’t seem to get it to work properly.

I changed the code to the following in wp-job-manager-functions.php

$args = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'search_location'   => '',
		'search_keywords'   => '',
		'search_categories' => array(),
		'job_types'         => array(),
		'offset'            => 0,
		'posts_per_page'    => 20,
		'orderby'           => '_package_id',
		'order'             => 'DESC',
		'featured'          => null,
		'filled'            => null,
		'min_salary'        => '',
		'max_salary'        => '',
		'comapny_activities' => '',
		'comapny_facilities' => '',
		'fields'            => 'all'
	) );

Am I missing something?

Although something similar to the above would sort by ID, thats not what I was suggesting.

I was suggesting using CUSTOM CODE to set MENU_ORDER based on _package_id once a listing is posted. menu_order is used for sorting by default.

Sorry for being daft here, but is that a post meta value I need to set? I had a look and currently there is no meta value for MENU_ORDER for any listings. I can create one, but will listings then know to be ordered according to that?

Or where do I set the MENU_ORDER value?

Look in the ‘posts’ table – it is not meta. Its a column.

Awesome thanks Mike, I seem to have it working correctly

please let me know where to set the MENU_ORDER value and unable to sort the listings to be ordered by the package, in which file i have to change?

Sorting job listing is a easy fix.

Hey, I tried sorting my job listings for hours – without finding a working solution. Could you explain how you solved it?

I use a plugin to set the menu_order of each job listing. The jobs are sorted by menu order in the wordpress backend, but in the job-list from the shortcode it does not work properly.

Hey jannnik ..
Have You resolved sorting issue or not ?

Hey, I still have problems: The jobs are sorted, but it looks like job manager caches the specific query.

I can change the order in the backend and the new order is visible in the backend list. But the new order is not visible in the frontend until I modify the shortcode a bit…

Hey Jannik

Hope this will fix your issue.

Go the wp-job-manager plugin
Open wp-job-manager-functions.php file .
and search for
if ( ‘featured’ === $args[‘orderby’] )
by-default order is according to date (descending)
‘date’ => ‘DESC’
just comment this line and write
‘name’ =>’ASC’
