I would like to ask for: Is there a way to get a dropdown sorting option of A-Z - that being the first letter of the artist of record name on the website. I was looking for solutions on this but could not find any online which would suit my needs. hidden link - This is a link to the page I'm referring to. There is a dropdown next to the search bar that I would like to replace with the functionality I mentioned before. There is one more thing about that page as well. It has the functionality of infinite scrolling set from Toolset Views, but if you scroll down for it to start loading the first time, you would get a scrolling glitch. I tried fixing that myself, but could not manage.

Thank you in advance.

I have split off the last issue remaining here:

As for the problem in this ticket, that is a single custom search dropdown, it seems, and you can order it's options, for example, if it filters a native Taxonomies like categories (see screenshot), or for custom fields, for example, you can order asc or desc, but not choose what by, as this will depend on the kind of value you compare (number, string, etc)

The Dropdown you shared is ordered correctly, ascending, as per WordPress string ordering, I think.
It begins at "1" and ends at "z" (numbers first, letters after, 1-9, a-z)
