Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom field in a directory for Last Name. I have the view set to order by that Last Name field in Ascending order. It kind of works. It lists members in order but on page 5 it gets to the end and then starts over with users who are not displaying earlier in the order. The people listed after the last name "Wright" from pages 5-7 should be mixed into the directory in alphabetical order by last name. Instead, they all display at the end of the directory but in alphabetical order.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
no.. just setting up a view as I normally would.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?
hidden link
I can reproduce the same problem in my localhost with your duplicator package, but this issue seems to be a WordPress core(which can not be fixed in Toolset side).
Toolset plugins are using WordPress built-in class WP_Query to query posts, the same issue exists in WP_Query itself, for example, you can try these:
1) Edit your theme file "functions.php", create a custom shortcode with pure WordPress functions:
add_shortcode('order-by', function(){
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'md-profile',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_key' => 'wpcf-md-last-name',
'nopaging' => true
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$res .= '<ul>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$res .= '<li>' . get_the_title() . '-' . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-md-last-name', true) . '</li>';
}
$res .= '</ul>';
} else {
// no posts found
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
return $res;
});
2) Create a new page, display above shortcode:
[order-by]
Test above page in frontend, I see same issue, see my screenshot order-by.jpg
Can you confirm it in your website too?
