    Hi all,

    Might be a simple answer (as in yes it can be done or no it can’t), but is there a way to sort players alphabetically when creating an Event and selecting the players?

    Additionally it would be INCREDIBLY helpful having an instant search there where you could part type a players name and they came up.

    In my case it’s a club with 200 – 300 players, and about 20 of them are picked per game out of a squad of 30.

    Currently there’s no real order to the list of players.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    You can sort and group your players based on the configuration in your list :

    You can limit the native worpdress search by telling the search box to only search within the player post type, or you can use categories, or taxonomy, etc.
    Add this to your searchform.php file for players only :
    <input type="hidden" value="post" name="post_type" id="sp_player" />

    or you can use a search plugin like Relevanssi :

    Hi corrinarusso,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Sorry I might not have explained myself that well in first post.

    The player list (SPORTSPRESS > PLAYERS > PLAYER LIST) sorts fine, however when I go to create an event (SPORTSPRESS > EVENTS > ADD NEW), and get to the sidebar section where you choose the team and add players, this is where I have the issue/query.

    Screenshot example here: https://ibb.co/TPYxhH9

    Is there a way to get that list to display alphabetically, or have search facility there (where you start typing a player and up they come).

    Hope that explains the issue better now.

    Thank you!

    Hi @mhwebdesign ,

    Please go to Sprotspress->Settings->Matches->Players and select the “Name” option. https://snipboard.io/y9GUSa.jpg

    Hey Savvas,

    You’ve done it again. Thank you very much.

    Even though it’s not searchable with only 30-40 player squads it should be good enough to work ??

    Just noticed that for new events you have to choose league, season, and team, THEN Publish/Save, and only then will the player names get ordered. Without saving they are still in default order.

    Cheers ??

    I am glad it worked. We are in progress to include a chosen like script for selecting players.

    Thanks,
    Savvas
