taxonomy sorts entries by term_id

Hello @skscomp ,

Thank you very much for using our plugin. You have two alternatives, you can read the taxonomy terms by using the Database data-source, and including an ORDER BY clause in the query, or you can include a callback in the recordset field to sort the results in the client side after receive them as you prefer.

Please try the following example.

Create a form and enter the following structure:

<script>function my_sort(data){
data.sort((a,b)=>a.slug<b.slug?-1:(a.slug == b.slug ? 0 : 1));
return data;
}</script>
[select my_list]
[cf7-recordset id="my_recordset" type="taxonomy" taxonomy="category" attributes="term_id,name,slug" callback="my_sort"]
[cf7-link-field recordset="my_recordset" field="my_list" value="term_id" text="slug"]

The recordset field includes the callback attribute callback="my_sort" it takes the recordset records and sorts them by the slug term. The rest of the fields’ tags have the usual structure.

Best regards.

you have a good plugin, but you should make the sorting easier.

Thanks for your help, everything worked out

Hello @skscomp

Hello @skscomp

Today, we released an update for the plugin that enables users to easily sort records by including order_by attributes in the RecordSet tags.

The form’s structure I sent you in a previous entry can be modified as follows in the latest plugin update:

[select my_list]
[cf7-recordset id="my_recordset" type="taxonomy" taxonomy="category" attributes="term_id,name,slug" order_by="slug"]
[cf7-link-field recordset="my_recordset" field="my_list" value="term_id" text="slug"]

Please purge the website and browser caches after installing the plugin update.

Best regards.
