Hi there,
I have an extra field named Location which holds the k2 items city.
Since there are many cities in this project it would be crazy to enter in every single city.
Therefore only the required ones are entered in the k2 extra fields drop-down selection.
For Example:
City A
City D
City E

This is easy to setup initially as having the order correct. However, if later on I need another city that is before City E then the city order is no longer alphabetical.
For Example:
City A
City D
City E
City B

My question is, how can I re-order this options in the JA K2 Search module to be alphabetical again whilst retaining the correct City value?

Dear @virteer,

Currently, ja k2 search module show k2 extra fields drop-down as it is, without the alphabetical ordering. However you can make it work by yourself, please do as following:

– Open “default.php” file in folder “modulesmod_jak2_filtertmpl”.
– Change line code


switch ($extrafield->type)

{
...
case 'select':
...

}

to


switch ($extrafield->type)

{
...
case 'select':
/*Added there lines code to sort by alphabe*/
if(!empty($extrafield->options))
{
$tmpArray = array();
$array = array();
$options = array();
foreach($extrafield->options as $item)
{
$tmpArray[] = $item->text;
$array[$item->text] = $item;
}
sort($tmpArray);
foreach($tmpArray as $item)
{
$options[] = $array[$item];
}
$extrafield->options = $options;
}
/*End updated*/
...

}

Hi there,

Will this method work in the current version of the module?

Hi Kbrookes,

Unfortunately, current version is different from the old one, so above method doesn’t work anymore.

We will consider to include this feature on next version.

The new one is so different from previous and it takes time, please wait for the upcoming version.
