The fix will be included in the 1.6 release, or if you need it before the final release of 1.6, please send me an email at <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> and I will get the latest release candidate to you. Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-35309 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:52:12 +0000 braindouche 35309@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am using 1.5.2.8, and I don't have an example at the moment. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-35305 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:43:22 +0000 Chris Hajer 35305@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What version of Gravity Forms are you using and do you have an example of this happening on a public form? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-35303 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:36:48 +0000 braindouche 35303@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am having the same problem with disordered categories. It's baffling, because the categories aren't being sorted alphabetically or by category ID. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-34429 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:58:00 +0000 mgannon37 34429@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've solved my problem using the <em>gform_post_submission</em> action. The code is placed in my theme's <em>functions.php</em> file.</p> <p>Here's the code in case it might help someone else:<br /> <a href="http://www.pastie.org/2481756" rel="nofollow">http://www.pastie.org/2481756</a></p> <p>I used one main dropdown field (general condition) and eleven subcategory dropdowns with conditional logic.</p> <p>Since a post category is an array, appending the values of all subcategories to the end of the array works. If a subcategory was not selected, the value is null; so the append only catches the single subcategory that was selected.</p> <p>The filters/hooks part of Gravity Forms is very impressive....it really does allow for doing just about anything.</p> <p>Thanks for a great plugin! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-34059 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 16:05:22 +0000 mgannon37 34059@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Good to hear!

If it is not on the front end, then it is a bug. We'll look into it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-33954 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:42:40 +0000 mgannon37 33954@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am having the same issue....the sort order of the categories in a Post Category field is alphabetical (what I want) when building the form. But when using the form, the order is not. Is there a work around for this issue yet? It is key to my form. Post Category fields do not support conditional logic, so I am using a single large sub-category field to cover a number of different parent categories; alphabetical sort is essential.</p> <p>I'm willing to hack a core file or two, and then re-do the hack when ever I upgrade if need be.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-16486 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 10:13:15 +0000 Chris Hajer 16486@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>From here by Carl Hancock:<br /> <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/sort-order-of-category-dropdown#post-8385" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/sort-order-of-category-dropdown#post-8385</a></p> <blockquote><p>Currently there is no way to change the sort order of the Category drop down. </p></blockquote> <p>That was 5 months ago. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/alphabetical-categories#post-16476 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 05:32:01 +0000 jacquesbez 16476@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've added a Post Category field to my form but it doesn't seem to order them alphabetical.</p> <p>How do I fix this?</p> <p>See - <a href="http://jbayjobs.co.za/load-cv" rel="nofollow">http://jbayjobs.co.za/load-cv</a> </p>
