    Hi I am looking at using this plugin for a customer site and one of there requirements is that when booking a table it chooses the table with the lowest “Max Capacity”.

    E.G. if there are 2 tables with the following Max Capacitys –
    Table 1: 5 Max Capacity
    Table 2: 3 Max Capacity
    If a customer trys to reserve a table for 2, it will choose table 2.

    I was wondering if there is an option on which to order the tables on? I believe it is currently ordering by the tableID.

    Any help / direction on this would be much appreciated!

    Hi,

    of course, that’s the how the algorithm used to search for free tables works. For further details, this is the priority list:

    • NON SHARED tables comes first
    • afterwards take the tables with lower capacity
    • fallback to the rooms ordering
    • keep the natural ordering (by ID) of the tables to avoid random results

    By taking the example you posted, I confirm that, in case both Table 1 and Table 2 are available, the system will always take Table 2 to host a reservation for 2 attendees.
