    Hi,

    Wanted to reverse the order of a shortcode, does anyone know what the default order is within this function? And is there a way to reverse the order inside this function?

    Example now:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6

    Wanted result
    6
    5
    4
    3
    2
    1

    add_shortcode( 'pers', function ( $atts, $content=NULL ) {
      extract(shortcode_atts(array(
          'position'  => '',
          'content'   => ''
      ), $atts ) );

      return esc_attr($position) . ': ' . esc_attr($content);
});

// Example usage:
// [pers position="1" content="something here"]

    Thanks

    There’s nothing in that shortcode to reverse.

    Forget about the code for a minute and explain what you’re trying to accomplish.

    @sterndata,

    Thank you for your reply, we have build a sort of press release numbered from 1-9 where 9 should be the first one. Thought about it to just save it reversed so it’s set already but if there is a much easier way I would love to hear it from you.

    Do you use multiple shortcodes with different positions in the content or are you using this in another way?

    I think saving it in reversed order is the easiest way.

    Each content has it’s own position, so [pers position="1" content="something here"] and [pers position="2" content="something else here"] agree about saving it reversed is the easiest way to do this.

    Thank you!

    EDIT:
    Solved this issue by saving it reversed into the database query. For this I have used the PHP function: array_reverse();
