re: I entered them in order so they are 1, 2, 3 IDs as I wanted them to be and they are not showing up that way.

Oh, yeah… I completely forgot… this template uses the jQuery Datatable library to do the “fancy” table stuff… it automatically sorts the fields. It took a bit of digging thru its API doc doc but I found where I can turn that off. I’ll have to release an update which includes this tweak. I’ll try and get that up this weekend.

re: Is there a way to get rid of page 1 and 2 so it’s all on one page?

Yes, this is easy to do, add enable_pagination=false to the existing shortcode so you have something like this:

[connections enable_pagination=false]

THANK YOU! You are getting the most awesome review ever written.

I just uploaded a tweaked zip which disables the initial automatic sort. It should now load in the order you defined. Let me know if that fixes it.

Oh… make sure you force refresh the browser so the new CSS and JS file are downloaded by the browser. This must be done or the browser will use the version it downloaded into its cache. Opening a private browsing window is a good way to test.

Hi Steven,

YAY!

Where is the zip? Did it replace the original connections-list-viewdotzip
?

I got it.
It changed – now it’s in alphabetical order.

I have the president set as name 1

re: It changed – now it’s in alphabetical order.

After I forced refreshed my browser cache so the new JS file was loaded, this is the order I see the entries:

John Anderson
Len Anderson
Todd Anderson
Shannon Ash
Patrick Bibro
Courtney Casey
Tim Casey
Jeff Clark
David Deuel
Jenn Felten
Jessica Fjelstad
Lori Fjelstad
Cori Fountain
Leanne Goodridge
Jackie Lang
Michael Lynch
Katie Miller
Steve Nelson
Jenny Perlinger
Sue Perlinger
Jon Randall
Mark Randall
Tom Randall
Audrey Roettger
Wayne Safranski
Irina Smith
Tristen Spencer
Herman Strauch
Sara Thielges
Lynn Voss
Tom Wright

The list seems to be sorting on the last name which would be the default sort applied by Connections.

Is that correct or not based on the order you set? Which method did you use to order them and what is your exact shortcode?

[Cori Fountain]

I entered them in according to position (where they should be)
Also I did name 1 on Len Anderson who should be first and it didn’t have any affect.

I originally had 6 names in for test, I deleted them to re-enter in order, I started with Len Anderson – but the plugin held the deleted 6 so he is actually #7, Michael Lynch is 8, Lori Fjelstad is 9, etc. according to the order they should be in (this was prior to plugin update)

Ok, I think I understand, you are talking about the entry ID, correct?

But, I still need the answer to these questions from my last reply…

Which method did you use to order them and what is your exact shortcode?

The methods I am referencing in this question are the two methods I gave you to do ordering in this reply.

The answers are important because right now the list appears, to me, to be simply supported by the default method of the last name which implies that neither of the sort methods were applied or another issue which is preventing them from function like they should.

they just all populated in on refresh
I’M DONE!

It looks fabulous!!!

Thank you so much for all your help Steven.

Awesome template!
