Tell us what you are trying to do?

The dropdown to connect many-to-many CPT relationships shows the CPTs in random order.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no GUI option available using which you can change the text "Search for a post".

You can use wordpress filter hook "gettext" to change it, for example:
- Add the following code to your current theme's functions.php file
OR
- You can add it to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

add_filter('gettext', function($text, $org_text, $domain){
    if($text == 'Search for a post' && $domain == 'wp-cred'){
        $text = 'My search for a post';
    }
    return $text;
}, 10, 3);

Where:
- change the string "My search for a post" as per your requirement.
