Sort Staff by Role when nested

    I have an issue where my staff are not showing in the order.
    I have the roles nested like so in the wpcm_jobs page:
    e.g.
    -Mens Team (role id = 321)
    – chairperson (role id = 330 etc)
    – secretary
    – treasurer
    -Womens Team (role id = 323)
    – chairperson
    – secretary
    – treasurer

    However when I try to output them on the site like this:
    [wpcm_staff limit=”0″ jobs=”323″ orderby=”menu_order” stats=”thumb,name,job,email,phone” title=”Womens Team Committee”]

    They do not appear in the list in correct order – the order I would expect is how they are ordered in the wpcm_roles page – like above, but they are not.

    Hi funzeye,

    Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

    You could achieve what you require by adding seperate staff shortcode for each job in the order you require. For example:

    [staff_list limit=”″ jobs=”CHAIRPERSON_ID″ orderby=”” stats=”thumb,name,job,email,phone” title=””]

    [staff_list limit=”″ jobs=”SECRETARY_ID″ orderby=”” stats=”thumb,name,job,email,phone” title=””]

    [staff_list limit=”″ jobs=”TREASURER_ID″ orderby=”” stats=”thumb,name,job,email,phone” title=””]

    That is the intended use of the sortcode…but you have highlighted that the menu_order option doesn’t work and I will add an option to sort by the order specified in the jobs page ??

    Also, you should be using the newer shortcodes which have been in use for over 2 years now. I will be ending backwards support for the old shortcodes in v3 of the plugin so any old shortcodes will break!

    Cheers ??
