How to Display Admin Toolbar Sub-Menu Links in Alphabetical Order

Hello @generosus,
?
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
?
Unfortunately, there is no way to sort the admin bar menu items.
?
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Respectfully, I disagree. Other plugin developers have been able to accomplish that.

Can you kindly elevate this topic to your chief developer for a second look? It may take a little extra time, but I’m sure it can be done.

Until then, please do not close this topic as resolved.

Thank you.

Hello @generosus,

Please use the following filter to sort our plugin’s admin bar menu alphabetically:

add_filter( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', function( $items ) {
global $wp_admin_bar;
// Get all current menu items
    $admin_bar_items = $wp_admin_bar->get_nodes();

    // Filter the items that start with 'rank-math'
    $rank_math_items = array_filter($admin_bar_items, function($item) {
        return strpos($item->id, 'rank-math') === 0;
    });

    // Sort the filtered items alphabetically by title
    usort($rank_math_items, function($a, $b) {
        return strcmp($a->title, $b->title);
    });

    // Remove the original rank-math items from the admin bar
    foreach ($rank_math_items as $item) {
        $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu($item->id);
    }

    // Re-add the rank-math items in alphabetical order
    foreach ($rank_math_items as $item) {
        $wp_admin_bar->add_menu((array) $item);
    }
} );

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Perfect! Thank you so much.

Perhaps you guys can add the above to your documentation?

Cheers ??
