There is an issue where the front-end sorting of a View’s custom search results have no effect. You see the page reloading but no sorting happens.
This issue happens when:
You configure the View to display custom search and search results separately but you still display them on the same page (but in different sections of the page, for example).
You configure the custom search to display results after clicking the “submit” button and reloading the page.
Workaround
3 thought on Front-end sorting has no effect if View's custom search and results are displayed separately but on the same page
Given that this was first identified at 2.7.5 (March 20 2019) and we’re now on 3.4.2 (March 8 2021) should we presume this issue isn’t going to be resolved and “as soon as possible” doesn’t really apply?
Hi Simon.
Sorry for the inconvenience this might be causing you. In fact, this is in our roadmap to get solved in the coming weeks, and we will update this errata if a patch against our most stable version can be provided.
Thanks for the feedback!
No problem, Juan, I understand that there are often a lot of different things all needing addressed, it was just with the time which has passed since it had first been identified it looked more like it had dropped off the radar a bit. I was given a workaround for now so that is fine until a proper fix is in place.
