    On this page:

    https://martinkeighleyracehorsetrainer.com/horses-in-training/

    You can see the horses are not being listed in alphabetical order. When I check the underlying HTML I can see that the order of the HTML elements is not the same as how they are displaying on the page. For example, the 4th article element is displaying in the 5th position, the 5th in the 6th and the 6th in the 4th.

    How can this be fixed?

    Hi there,

    Can you share with us how the WPSP list’s Order by setting is set? If you want it to be sorted in alphabetical order, the order by setting should be set to “Title.

    Hi Elvin,

    It was set to masonry which even when its set to Order by title in alphabetical ascending order, it doesn’t do that. You might want to look into that or at least put a message saying that masonry mode will not display posts in title order no matter what.

    Regards,

    Actually there is still an issue. You can see that ‘BE THANKFUL'(BET) is displaying before ‘BEN BUIE’ (BEN). Why is this?

    BE Thankful isn’t “BET”, but rather “BE[space]T”. and “Ben Buie” is “BEN”. Special characters and spaces come first in alphabetical order.

    Note: This isn’t something WPSP controls. That’s just how WordPress’ default WP_query function orderby => title works.

    My suggestion: You can try adding a custom field for posts custom titles and add title there minus the spaces and special characters and sort the list by meta key value.

    Example:

    Hi Elvin,

    Thanks for the reply. I presumed as such and if that’s how WordPress itself does it then it’s not an issue.

    regards,
