Hello,

I have a problem with either ACF or The grid, and i’d like you to help me find the reason for it. I think it’s a bug of one of the plugins but i don’t know wich one.

Basically, i have a grid where i want the content to show in a cutom order. that custom order is being dictated by the ACF plugin (i created a custom number field called “Custom_order”). i want the grid to show the content in ascending order starting from the custom_order value 1. the thing is that it does work at the beginning but it sort of gets stuck after a while and shows the same content over and over (no matter what “sorting order” i give it)

Do you happen to know if this is a known bug or something?

PS: I just want to show the content in the grid with a custom order, do you know of a workaround for this. maybe a different way that doesn’t involve custom fields?

Hello There,

I did some further investigation and there is no issue at all. It is just that TheGrid plugin were confused of the page order and your custom order. You have to make sure that the page order is set to zero before it could follow the custom order. Please see the screenshot below:

Hope this helps.

OOHH, OK OK! May i know how come is the “attributes” order having an effect on the grid? i mean, if i remove the custom field, will it have the order on the attribute list then?

Thanks in advance for the answer, i can’t believe that was it, i’ve been scratching my head for almost 10 hours before i asked you!

Hi there,

Every query has default parameters and that includes default order or custom order added by another plugin, or order that you made. It uses a filter/hook and can be affected by any external code or by default one.

Thanks!
