Hi there,

Is it possible to create A-Z indexing on this page: hidden link or we can put a dropdown with release year like

Movies Release in 2016
Movies Release in 2017
Movies Release in 2018
Movies Release in 2019

and it sorts movies released in the respective years. In Custom Fields I have a section where I insert release full date.

Looking forward to your response.
Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - if you want to build glossary filter (A....Z), please try to follow the following steps:

1)
Create a taxonomy namely "alphabets" and add A to Z as terms.

2)
Now create a new view that will list all the terms for taxonomy "alphabets". The loop output section should look like this:

[wpv-layout-start]
    [wpv-items-found]
    <a href="[current_url]">All</a>
    <!-- wpv-loop-start -->
        <wpv-loop>
            <a href="?wpvalphabet=[wpv-taxonomy-title]">[wpv-taxonomy-title]</a>
        </wpv-loop>
    <!-- wpv-loop-end -->
    [/wpv-items-found]
    [wpv-no-items-found]
        <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
    [/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

-- Add following code to your current themes funcitons.php file

/**
 * Register custom shortcode to output url of current page
 * Minus any url parameters
 */
add_shortcode( 'current_url', function(){
   
    $request = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].strtok($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],'?');
    $protocol = '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>';
   
    if ( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) {
        $protocol = '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>';
    }
   
    return $protocol . $request;
} );

3)
Now create another view for which you want to display your posts filter by the taxonomy "alphabets" as URL param.

[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-view name="alphabet-terms"]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
        <wpv-loop>
            <h3>[wpv-post-link]</h3>
        </wpv-loop>
    <!-- wpv-loop-end -->
    [/wpv-items-found]
    [wpv-no-items-found]
        <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
    [/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

So every-time we have to select taxonomy letter ?

Yes - that's correct. You need to click on taxonomy letter to filter the results.
