Custom tag order

Hello,

I'm using your excellent taxonomy plugin for an academic journal to display the authors. So far, it has served me well. However, I was asked to keep a certain order of the author tags (that should reflect their contribution, status etc.). Is there a way to do this with the GD Taxonomies Tools? A simple tip would be nice.

Thank you. Keep up the good work!

Hi,

I am not sure that I understand. But plugin supports different sorting methods for terms. If you need something else, or you have suggestion, please give me example so that I can understand what exactly needs to be done.

Regards,
Milan

Re: Custom tag order

Ok. The idea is that right now the plugin orders the custom tags only alphabetically (at least that's what I've observed). So, if I have three authors - Bob, Alice and Clyde - they will be listed like this: Alice, Bob, Clyde. The problem is that Clyde is the senior author and it's customary to enumerate him first (like this: Clyde, Alice, Bob). Right now, this can't be done.

I found a solution here, but apparently taxonomy.php mentioned there doesn't have the same contents as in 2.8+. I was looking for the same behavior: list the tags in order of their addition, not (only) alphabetically.

Thank you for your support.

Re: Custom tag order

Well, WordPress doesn't save order of addition of taxonomies. I will add ID sort order, but this actually sorts term by the date of adding, not adding to taxonomy. It's the closest sort that can be added.

Re: Custom tag order

I see. I thought it would've been easy to do it, but your word will be an honest excuse for me to provide to my clients. :)
It's OK. Anyway, your plugins are very useful and dependable (apart from GD Taxonomy, GD Press Tools was just what I needed to handle some admin tasks).
Thanks.
