Hey, finally I found a solution:

add_filter( 'get_job_listings_query_args', 'custom_get_job_listings_query_args' );
function custom_get_job_listings_query_args( $args ) {
	if ( $args['orderby'] == 'menu_order' ) {
		$args['order'] = 'ASC';
		$args['cache_results'] = false;
	}
	return $args;
}

When using the shortcode without filters, everything works fine. But when using the shortcode with filters the job manager plugin uses ajax to get the job list. I looks like a query is cached and if I change the order of my jobs, the order only changes on the “non-ajax”-job-lists. Any idea how to solve that problem?

Hey, thanks!

Could you explain how to sort the jobs by the meta_value “menu_order”? Each job has now a value at the column “menu_order”, but orderby=”menu_order” in the [jobs] shortcode does’nt work.

Hey Mike, user friendliness is not much important because I have only 10-15 job listings and I need this feature badly.

Could you explain how to order the job listings by a custom field?

My second requirement is to group the jobs by category in the job list. Is this possible?

Thanks! I am also very interested in alpha and beta versions.

Oh, I see that I can add the category pages there, you are right 🙂
But when I open a category page, the menu entry will not be highlighted (has not the current-menu-item class). How can I add the highlighting for the category page and the events from this category?

Finally, I got it to work with this filter (it tries to load each template from my plugin’s folder, but if there is no custom template, it will use the original one.)

add_filter( 'job_manager_locate_template', 'custom_job_manager_locate_template', 10, 3 );
function custom_job_manager_locate_template( $template, $template_name, $template_path ) {
	$plugin_path = dirname(__FILE__) . '/templates/' . $template_name;
	if (file_exists($plugin_path))
		return $plugin_path;
	else
		return $template;
}
