Category Sorting on Front-End

  • Posts: 7

Category Sorting on Front-End was created by AdinaG

I have set a specific order for my many categories in the backend but when I go to the frontend for the user, the dropdown box where they submit their videos the "Select Category" is listed in the order that they were added.

Can we get this to keep the sort order set in backend too?

No, I am not a Pro yet.

But unfortunately the categories do not list in alphabetical order either, that was why I tried to reorder them.

As you can see from the shot below....

- Open {root}/components/com_yendifvideoshare/models/user.php

- Search for $query = 'SELECT * FROM #__yendifvideoshare_categories WHERE published=1';

- Replace the line as $query = 'SELECT * FROM #__yendifvideoshare_categories WHERE published=1 ORDER BY name ASC';

- Save the changes.

That's it. Hope, this solved your issue!!!
