Tierra Innovation: Wordpress CMS Project

Smart Category Ordering is a plugin that allows you to sort your post content (per category). You can apply your sorting to a single category, or have your settings follow a category tree, covering the parent and children categories.

When sorting by “Smart Title”, that option is there to the leading ‘a’, ‘an’ or ‘the’ from a post title when sorting. This is the only difference between “Smart Title” and “Title.”

Installation:

1. Upload the smart-category-ordering folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress.
3. Select ‘Smart Category Ordering’ from the ‘Settings’ menu and configure your options.

Change Log:

   Hey guys, getting a nasty error:
   Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /wp-includes/category-template.php on line 70 … seems to work on our mp sites, but not on the main one….

     What version of WP are you using? Also, is it Single or Multi User?

   hi

   great plugin. However there is no difference between any of the archives. once a sorting is made it affects every category not just the one selected

     @brian – did you only set a catchall or did you set separate sorting method per category? Can you email a screen shot of your admin settings screen?

   Hello,

   Your plugin is great. However, it doesn’t recognize the arrangement of the category by numerical order. For example,when I installed in my website, the category will be arranged as follows:

   Entourage Season 6 Episode 4
   Entourage Season 6 Episode 3
   Entourage Season 6 Episode 2
   Entourage Season 6 Episode 1
   Entourage Season 6 Episode 10
   Entourage Season 6 Episode 11
   Entourage Season 6 Episode 12

   Do you have any idea on how to solve the problem?

     @Emily – try renaming your categories so they are as such:

     Entourage Season 6 Episode 04
     Entourage Season 6 Episode 03
     Entourage Season 6 Episode 02
     Entourage Season 6 Episode 01
     Entourage Season 6 Episode 10
     Entourage Season 6 Episode 11
     Entourage Season 6 Episode 12

     You’ll need that leading 0 before the episode number or it will order by the first number it sees. It’s relatively common with ordering.
