Hi, I've a parametric search with "Search" button and AJAX active. I've also added a [wpv-sort-orderby] select outside of the "Search and Pagination" editor, it is on top of Loop editor. The "order by" select works correctly when I click on the "Search" button.

I'd like to order results on select change, without "Search" button click. Is it possible? Is there a jQuery that can help?

I tried this:

  jQuery( ".js-wpv-sort-control-orderby" ).change(function() {
    jQuery( "form.js-wpv-filter-form-675-TCPID825" ).submit();
  });

It submit correclty the search form, but it reloads the page and it loses the orderby parameter.

I tried also this solution but it doesn't work for me:

Hi Minesh, I attach a cople of screenshot, but if you want to give a look to wp-admin, this is still the same website I was working on this other topic:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/split-use-non-types-custom-fields-of-yith-tickets-plugin-for-search-filters-date-filter/

This is the view:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=views-editor&view_id=675

You can see it on the homepage.

thanks

Well - I do not know why you added the sorting control within the "Loop Editor" section, I just placed the sorting control AFTER the shortcode [/wpv-filter-controls] within the "search and pagination" section thats the correct place to add sorting controls as per our Docs:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/allowing-visitors-to-sort-the-front-end-results/#how-to-add-sorting-controls

I can see its working without clicking on search button. Could you please confirm.

[umbertoZ]

Ok, but please can you save again the view with your changes? I was also working there and I lost them.

[Minesh]

Ok - I've added my changes again.

Additionally - Please close the following ticket as well.

did you see the changes I made?

[umbertoZ]

Yes, it's ok. Thanks.

If I need to put the orderby select outside [wpv-filter-start hide="false"], is there a way to trigger the orderby without click on the search button?

[Minesh]

The only way I see is to set the view to update the results everytime input changes settings as you can see with the following screenshot:
