alphabetical order of filter values

Hello,

So far, I can say that you are right there is no options in order to order value by alphabetical order, but maybe there is a way but this will depends from your specific needs and your filter and custom field configuration.

So in order to find a solution can you provide :
- Filer settings screenshot
- Custom fields screenshot
- Describe in details your needs and your value

the point is for us to understand the context and what you want achieved as filter results.
Regards

Hi,

No, you would have to do that in the administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/filter.php file when the values are loaded or when the dropdown is generated.
In the filter.php view, the elements are just assembled so I don't think you would be able to do it from there.

But why not reorder the values on the custom field ? That way, you would have the order you want.

Hi,

I didn't think of that.
That's indeed a valid reason to have a alphabetic ordering setting for the options of the filter directly in the filter.
Right now, the only way would be to modify the code in administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/filter.php

Hi,

You would have to have a developer work on that for you.
It will be that code that need to be modified there:

				foreach($field->field_value as $val){
					$selectedItem='';
					if(!empty($selected) && in_array($val[0], $selected)){
						$selectedItem='selected="selected"';
					}
					if(empty($val[0]) && $field->field_required) continue;
					$html.='<OPTION '.$selectedItem.' name="'.$filter->filter_data.'" value="'.$val[0].'">'.JText::_($val[1]).'</OPTION>';
				}

usort($field->field_value, function ($a, $b) { return strcmp($a[1], $b[1]); });
