Sweet, the latest update fixed the issue.

Cheers

The ordering works, BUT only on the 8 items it selected. It doesn’t take all the tags and then order it by count and then order those records DESC.

It basically first selects the first 8 records and then orders is DESC or ASC, dependent.

I hope that makes sense.

I can confirm that it is still only sorting by name and not by “count”. Also, the order doesn’t change whether I set it to “desc” or “asc”; which is the same as before.

Hi @wpkube

Unfortunately the upgrade didn’t solve the issue for me. You can view the tags in the center of the page on the home page of Ashrays. The shortcode that I use is as follows:

[cool_tag_cloud style="silver" number="8" order_by="count" order=desc" taxonomy="list-tags"]

The order is still asc as these tags have the lowest count.

@wpkube Do you have an update on this yet?

Hi,

Did you ever find a solution for the sorting issue as it is still there in the current version?

Did you find a solution to this as I am experiencing the same issue?

Aah brilliant, so I am not going insane.

Thanks and waiting in anticipation.

Yes I do.

There are 2,894 tags and some have up to 6 posts associated with it. It is these that I want to show in the cloud.

I therefore need the tags sorted by count and descending.

OK, so I did a bit more testing and saw that TAGS were listed twice in teh dropdown list, so I selected the second one and it now shows the custom tags. BUT the order is still incorrect in the widget so it is both the shortcode and widget that works the same.

It is kind of strange how it works.

When I order by name or count then it takes the first 25 items of the entire tag list and orders it descending or ascending. It is like it never takes the entire tags list into consideration; it is always only the top 25 items that gets displayed.

I also think that because the top 25 all have a count of 1 it makes no difference whether I order by name or count…

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I can’t use it as a widget as the taxonomy=”list-tags” doesn’t show up as an option. (It is a custom tag created by the ListingPro theme.)

I therefore have to use it in its shortcode form.

It would be great if the widget could identify custom taxonomies and have it in the dropdown list as an option…

Unfortunately not and I couldn’t find any add-ons to do it either. The only feedback I got was to use a multisite setup and work with that.
