Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a custom view displaying a custom post type with custom taxonomies. I want to show results with a particular taxonomy before all other results.

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

As per my understanding, you need 2 different views:

1) Showing the results for that particular taxonomy and placed first for display.
2) Showing rest of the results, excluding the taxonomy from View #1 and placed after #1 for display.

Please see https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/filtering-views-by-taxonomy/ for details on "Filtering Views Query by Taxonomy".

Let me know if it helps resolved the issue or I'll try my best to further assist you on the matter.

Regards.

How would this work on a setup that shows search on one page and results on a separate page?
