Author Order

  • Hi – is there a way to have multiple authors appear in a specific order other than alphabetical? For example, in the case of an academic work where author order generally relates to level of involvement/contribution on the work? Thanks!

  • Hi @koben-1,

    By default, the “Genesis Author Pro” plugin only shows the books ordered by their published date and time.

    They are shown in descending order, where the most recent one would show first.

    You’ll find the option to adjust published date at right-hand column on each book’s edit screen, just under the heading “Publish”.
    ( “Published” field should not be confused with the “Publication Date” and both are shown in this screenshot: https://nimb.ws/K3OoZA )

    This arrangement provides most flexibility because book page’s published date is not shown to visitors on front-end, but only book’s publication date is visible. Site owners can edit it anytime to re-adjust book order, without remaking/re-adding them.

    There is an edit link to adjust book page’s published date and time, as shown in another screenshot: https://nimb.ws/IBT7hy

    To show books grouped or ordered by any different criteria, custom page template will be needed.

    Hi, thanks for responding! I wasn’t referring to book order, however. When a book has multiple authors the plugin lists these authors alphabetically. However, there is often a need – again, in the case of academic works – to list authors in a specific order for this individual title. Is this possible? If so, how?
