    RE: It worked!!!!

    Great to hear!

    RE: how is it determined which order the excerpts are listed in?

    Alphabetical by name (last name if an individual).

    RE: Can they be alphabetized by city?

    See the order_by shortcode option. You can change the order to be by city.

    Hope this helps!

    URG. the city has disappeared and i didn’t do anything. When i go to edit entry it shows as a category but doesn’t show the value (see attached screenshot). Checked and the code is still in snippet & in card.php file for child theme.

    and if i want to add order by city would the shortcode be:

    [connections category_in=12 image_width=200 order_by=city]

    or

    [connections category_in=12 image_width=200 order_by='city']

    I took a look at the code for the snippet you attached as a PDF a few replies ago…

    This line:

    'type' => 'city', // This is the field type being added.

    Should be:

    'type' => 'text', // This is the field type being added.

    That is likely the reason it does not have a text input for you to type the name.

    RE: if i want to add order by city would the shortcode be:

    Either of those should work fine. I personally use quotes when adding shortcode options. Od, you should use the category shortcode option not the catgory_in shortcode option.

    [connections category=12 image_width=200 order_by='city']

    So close!!! I added a fake entry with a city name starting with A to test out the order by city feature.

    When i just have [connections category=12 image_width=200] I can see both profiles, but they are not ordered alphabetically.

    When i have [connections category=12 image_width=200 order_by='city']
    or
    [connections category=12 image_width=200 order_by=city]

    the newer profile that has a custom city field starting with A disappears completely.

    ??????

    @ Erika

    The order_by is not sorting based on your custom field. It is sorting based on the city field in the address fieldset. I suspect the entry disappears because the entry does not have an address with a matching city added in its address.
