Hi guys,
i try to find a way to sort the values in a filter (dropdown, see screenshot). All values come from one taxonomy. I see that i can only sort them ascending and descending. Is there any way to sort them in a custom order?
Thanks!
Marc

It depends on the order you want to achieve. We use the get_terms API from WordPress to query terms, so it may be possible to filter get_terms using an orderby parameter:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_terms/#parameters
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_term_query/__construct/#parameters

However, an arbitrary sort order isn't really possible in this query because of WordPress API limitations. In that case, you can see how to set up your own arbitrary sort order manually in a wpv-control shortcode here:
