Possibility of sorting Staff

Hi there @epswp ,

You can try to use the Order field on Job edit page.

Thanks,

I did, but it has no effect. :/

Did you set the order option correctly on both Jobs and Staff members? Normally the order field on Jobs will arrange the order each Job group will be shown (ascending) and the order field on Staff members will arrange the order of each staff inside their group (ascending also).

Can you share some screenshots of your settings and links to the pages you are showing your staff?

Thanks,
Savvas

My settings at the job-configuration: https://ibb.co/C5WVmPf
An example page is here: https://ejkassel.de/team/bambinis-u7/

Hi there @epswp ,

From your screenshot I can see that you arrange the order of your “Jobs” and that order is working as it should at your example page (Trainer is shown first, Mannschaftsleiter is shown last etc.)

Did you expect a different behaviour?

Thanks,
Savvas

Hi Savvas,

there is a diff between the order in the screenshot and on the site.

It is Trainer > Co-Trainer > Mannschaftsleiter > Betreuer. At the site it is still the creation date.

Hi there @epswp ,

You are right. This is the default way SportsPress shows the Staff of a Team. You can change it so as it respect the Roles Order value by copying the team-staff.php template file from wp-content/plugins/sportspress/templates/ to wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/sportspress/and use the following code:

<?php
/**
 * Team Staff
 *
 * @author      ThemeBoy
 * @package     SportsPress/Templates
 * @version     2.5.5 (MODIFIED)
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}

if ( ! isset( $id ) ) {
	$id = get_the_ID();
}

$team       = new SP_Team( $id );
$members    = $team->staff();
$link_staff = get_option( 'sportspress_team_link_staff', 'no' ) === 'yes' ? true : false;

// Get role terms and sort them by sp_order
$role_terms = get_terms( array(
	'taxonomy'   => 'sp_role',
	'hide_empty' => false,
) );

if ( $role_terms ) {
	usort( $role_terms, 'sp_sort_terms' );
}

// Create a mapping of role names to their order
$role_order = array();
foreach ( $role_terms as $index => $term ) {
	$role_order[ $term->name ] = $index;
}

// Function to get the order of the role
function get_role_order( $staff, $role_order ) {
	$staff_object = new SP_Staff( $staff->ID );
	$staff_roles = $staff_object->roles();
	if ( empty( $staff_roles ) ) {
		return PHP_INT_MAX; // If no roles, put at the end
	}

	$role_names = wp_list_pluck( $staff_roles, 'name' );
	// Find the first matching role in the defined order
	foreach ( $role_names as $role_name ) {
		if ( isset( $role_order[ $role_name ] ) ) {
			return $role_order[ $role_name ];
		}
	}

	return PHP_INT_MAX; // If role is not in the defined order, put at the end
}

// Sort the staff based on their roles
usort( $members, function( $a, $b ) use ( $role_order ) {
	$a_order = get_role_order( $a, $role_order );
	$b_order = get_role_order( $b, $role_order );

	if ( $a_order === $b_order ) {
		return 0;
	}

	return ( $a_order < $b_order ) ? -1 : 1;
});

foreach ( $members as $staff ) :
	$id   = $staff->ID;
	$name = $staff->post_title;

	$staff = new SP_Staff( $id );
	$roles = $staff->roles();

	if ( ! empty( $roles ) ) :
		$roles = wp_list_pluck( $roles, 'name' );
		$name  = '<span class="sp-staff-role">' . implode( '<span class="sp-staff-role-delimiter">/</span>', $roles ) . '</span> ' . $name;
	endif;
	?>
	<h4 class="sp-staff-name"><?php echo $link_staff ? '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink( $id ) ) . '">' . wp_kses_post( $name ) . '</a>' : wp_kses_post( $name ); ?></h4>
	<?php
	sp_get_template( 'staff-photo.php', array( 'id' => $id ) );
	sp_get_template( 'staff-details.php', array( 'id' => $id ) );
endforeach;
