Reset to alphabetical order?

  • Hi,

    We installed the plugin, moved around a couple of pages but ultimately ended up with an almost random order of pages for some reason. This is particularly an issue for the automated user sitemap that we have that currently displays things in an unordered fashion.

    How do we reset the order of pages to an alphabetical order permanently? We have too many pages to practically do it manually.

    Thanks.

  • Hi @cvsts,

    I apologise for talking a long time to reply here to you. Were you ever able to get a solution for this?

    The plugin does not have a reset function built-in however I am going to open up a ticket at the github repo for this plugin and consider working on a PR to add the feature.

    Thank you for the feature request and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out ??

    Hi,

    Thank you for the follow-up.

    Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution and since it would be too time consuming to do it manually the pages are still unordered.

    If you ever come across a solution, please let me know.

    Thanks again.

    I opened up an issue at github about his and will be trying to write some code to make it happen but for now the plugin doesn’t have a way to reset ??

    If you are familiar with issuing MYSQL commands or using PHPMyadmin there is an answer on stackoverflow which might be able to help reset things for you: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/97968/resetting-menu-order-to-0-for-posts-in-phpmyadmin

    NOTE: Be sure to perform a database backup before issuing any commands like this.

    UPDATE wp_posts SET menu_order = 0 WHERE post_type = 'page';

    I will keep you posted on any plan to add this reset function directly to the plugin however I do not have any kind of firm decision on if/how best to add this or any kind of timetable to let you know about at the moment.
