I have a custom category which has a custom number field 'sort-order'.

In the cred form the categories are in a drop-down box and user selects one. Can I put the categories in order of 'sort-order' field?

I currently have...

<label>Select Photo Album:</label>
[cred_field field='photo-album' display='select' single_select='true' output='bootstrap']

Hi, there's not an easy way to do this from wp-admin. You might be able to use custom code to filter the get_terms query, or you could use a combination of a generic field with options provided by Views and custom code that captures the selection from the generic field and stores it as a term on the post. Another ticket here shows how someone customized the term order in a View's filter, but their sorting is based on hard-coded options and not a term custom field value:

Yours will be significantly more complex, and unfortunately I don't have a cut-and-paste solution for you. I'm glad to help if you run into a specific coding roadblock that touches any Toolset APIs.
