    Hello:

    Is it possible to set a sequence for the entries in the FAQ list?

    I notice that the first one entered goes to the bottom of the list. I’d like to be able to control the order of the questions and answers as they have a logical sequence. Having to retype the entire list to add one at the bottom is difficult.

    (The site is presently on my local machine so no link.)

    It’s a lovely plugin–easy to use.

    Thanks
    Kay

  • Hey nckay,

    There’s no easy way to do this, apart from writing php code which I don’t like doing, so I’ve been using this as a quick fix.

    1. Go to FAQ –> All FAQ’s

    2. All FAQ’s should look like this..
    ex
    How can we get this feature added in? (added third)
    Do you think it would be difficult to code? (added second)
    Why doesn’t this plugin have this functionality? (added first)

    3. Figure out the sequence you would like them in
    ex
    How can we get this feature added in? (added third) To be shown as the 2nd question
    Do you think it would be difficult to code? (added second) To be shown as the 3rd question
    Why doesn’t this plugin have this functionality? (added first) To be shown as the 1st question

    4. Press “Quick Edit” on the question you would like to be displayed 1st

    5. Under “Date” change the time from xx:xx to xx:03 (this will now be displayed as question 1).

    6. Update the remaining questions using descending times.. So the question you want displayed second would have a time of xx:02, the first question would be xx:01 etc..

    *note*
    – If you have 10 questions, start with xx:10 as the time for the question you would like first, with 10 descending down to 01.
    – Make sure you press “Update” every time you make one of these changes.

    This method is a bit of a pain in the neck but it’ll give you the functionality that you’re looking for without having to spend money or time to code it.

    And that’s the way the cookie crumbles…

    Thank you for the answer. I don’t like to code PHP either. It’s a very creative solution.
