  Hi

  I was able to change the default sort order on category page using ‘pre_get_posts‘ filter but I also want to update the sort form drodpown to select that field by default. It’s “Date” selected right now.
  Can you please provide code snippet for that.

  You can try this PHP snippet

  add_filter(
  	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_sort',
  	function( $form_args, $form ) {
  		$form_args['fields']['_sort']['options']['']     = 'Your default sort option';
  		
  		return $form_args;
  	},
  	1000,
  	2
  );

  Hi @yevhen

  I want to keep the default ‘Date’ item in dropdown but have the custom attribute “Event Date” selected by default.

  Then please try this PHP snippet

  add_filter(
  	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_sort',
  	function( $form_args, $form ) {
  		$form_args['fields']['_sort']['options']['']     = 'Event Date';
                  $form_args['fields']['_sort']['options']['date']     = 'Date';
  		
  		return $form_args;
  	},
  	1000,
  	2
  );

  I am trying to change the default sort order on a category listing page to be event date. Could I use this snippet with modification to make that happen?

  If you mean changing the default sorting order of listings on the category page it is possible, but unfortunately there is no simple snippet for this, it requires overriding the listing query via a hook. We also plan to add an option to select the default sorting order (other than date).

  Have you updated the system to be able to change the default order yet? I am interested in that feature as well. Doesn’t make sense in our case to sort by date, date has nothing to do with the task. Defaulting to rating or price would make more sense, but I can’t figure out where doing this.

  Sorry, there is no such option yet, but it is possible with customizations. If you have a developer please try using this hook to override the listing query https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/pre_get_posts/

  Well, that’s the problem, I can not find a developer that knows how to work with Hivepress.
