[Resolved] Show last page of view first

Say I have a view that has three pages.

Page 1: 10 items
Page 2: 10 items
Page 3: 4 items.

When the view is first loaded, I want to show the last page- ie. page 3, with it's 4 items. Reversing the sort order won't work because I only want the 4 items on the first page.

I don't seem to be able to find anything in the documentation to work out how to do this?

I have a couple of possible solutions, but wanted to check that i'm not missing anything obvious first. I was thinking of using JQuery to trigger a click on a pagination "Last Page" link, or pulling the last page number using [wpv-pager-total-pages] and using that to update the url parameter &wpv_paged=

Is there a better way to achieve the same result? Cheers!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I see both possibility, so I suggest you should try to grab the last page link and redirect the user on last page that would be the easy way to fix this.

Here's the JS i'm using if anyone needs it:

if ( $("body").hasClass("page-id-12345") ) {

		var oldurl = window.location.href;
		var arr = oldurl.split('?');
		var newurl = '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.wpv-filter-last-link').attr("href");

		if ( arr.length > 1 && arr[1] !== '' ) {
			// Do nothing- parameters exist.
		} else {
			window.location.replace( newurl );
		}

	};
