Table of Contents
The Sorting Method is one of the essential features of the Other tab.
Move to the Select Sorting Method option to sort table data in various ways.
The sorting Method has three options – By Created at, By Column, and Manual Sort.
By Column #
From the dropdown, you can choose any Column as per your needs. You can also choose Sort type by selecting ascending or Descending way.
By Created at #
In this option, two sort types are available – Show New Items First & Show Old Items First.
Manual Sort #
You can sort the table data from Table Rows manually. Click the Sort Manually checkbox to enable sorting the data using the drag-and-drop feature.
This is how easily anyone can utilize the Sorting Method!
Hi,
Is there a way to have the default (when first displayed) sorted by multiple columns?
For example, I have 3 ACF/CPT fields (Section, Lot, Plot), and I can select Section, in the table options, which works, but the other columns are unsorted.
Any help, even a code snippet would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Paul
Hey Paul, Thank you for reaching us out. You can’t sort multiple columns. But there should be some workaround at our Support Center. Create a support ticket from here: https://wpmanageninja.com/support-tickets/

I’m still very new to this and am struggling with the sort feature. My data consists of 1 to 100 rankings by year and some items aren’t in every year. When I sort by descending I correctly get 100, 99, 98, etc. But when I sort by Ascending, I get all the blanks first. Is there a way to have it start at 1?
Hi Kate, all blank cells in the column will be positioned at the top, which is how the ascending order is applied. For more details please contact support, they’ll help you with all the necessary information.
the sorting option is not operating correctly. I am sorting by the time and it will consistenly list one or two time slots out of order. What do you think the issue is and can it be fixed?
Hello sir. I have forwarded your issue to our support agent. Please open a ticket (https://wpmanageninja.com/support-tickets/) with the table JSON so they can have an idea of what’s causing it. Thanks for your comment.
