Radio field, alphabetical order

Hi,

I would like to suggest small change to radio field. When there are many values it’s hard to find to correct one, especially if added thru other option. So, it would be much easier for user to find it in an alphabetical order.

I have modified the radio.php field to look like this.
Add to line 44:
‘alpabetical_order’ => 0,

Add to line 151:
// aplhabetical order
if( $field[‘alpabetical_order’] ){
asort( $field[‘choices’] );
}

Add to line 285:
// alpabetical_order
acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
‘label’ => __(‘Alphabetic order’,’acf’),
‘instructions’ => ”,
‘name’ => ‘alpabetical_order’,
‘type’ => ‘true_false’,
‘ui’ => 1,
‘message’ => __(“Show values in alphabetic order”, ‘acf’)
));

It would be nice to see this in next update, as it is small change that doesn’t change functionality.

Thanks

You should make your suggestion by opening a new support ticket https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket/

This can be done using an acf/load_field filter https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfload_field/ and then reorder the field choices. $field['choices']

Ok, thanks I just posted a ticket.

I think this should be an option on field edit page, because lot of people don’t know how to edit theme or don’t know PHP.

Thanks
