Order by slug name instead of alphabetical?

[parentingsuccessnetwork]

We are using category names to sort options in the filter bar. Is there a way to order the items in the filter list by slug rather than alphabetical by the name?

I don’t see why not – can you try adding a short snippet like this to your theme’s functions.php file?

add_filter( 'tribe_events_filter_values', 'reorder_category_filter_list', 10, 2 );

function reorder_category_filter_list( $list, $slug ) {
	if ( 'eventcategory' !== $slug ) return $list;
	usort( $list, 'custom_cat_filter_sort' );
	return $list;
}

function custom_cat_filter_sort( $p, $q ) {
	$slug_p = $p['data']['slug'];
	$slug_q = $q['data']['slug'];

	if ( $slug_p > $slug_q ) return 1;
	if ( $slug_q > $slug_p ) return -1;
	return 0;
}

Does that help?

My pleasure 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread – but if we can help with anything else please do feel free to post new threads as needed. Also, if you had a moment to spare, we’d love to hear your thoughts on The Events Calendar so far. Thanks!
