      Hi,

      Just upgraded to Pro and using bespoke map icons – great.

      However when I set the map to show the POI as a list underneath it shows them in a random order – not the order that I set in the admin. (See: http://www.theoldwatchhouse.co.uk/map-local-area/)

      How can I get the order to show properly?

        Alphabetical sorting is applied by default. Use sort=”false” in the shortcode to turn it off:

        [mappress sort="false"]

            Hi.

            How can I sort POI list in mashup? I need to sort them in the same way my posts with map are listed.

              Hi,

              There’s a short section in the documentation about this that may help. There are also some examples in the WordPress page here:

              Queries to Set the Sort Order

              MapPress by default sorts POIs by title.

              You can turn off the default behavior using the shortcode parameter sort to “false”.

              If the default sort is turned off, you can use the WordPress order and orderby parameters in queries to sort your posts by various fields including author, date, etc. For example to sort all posts by date, descending:
              [mashup query=”orderby=date&order=desc” sort=”false

                When i add initialopeninfo=”true” it brings the latest to the top. i have asked in another topic if it is possible to display the title of all the POI’s

                  Hi,

                  Yes, that setting opens the first POI in the list and brings it forward above the other markers.

                  It’s not possible to open all the POIs at once as you asked earlier, nor are there marker labels. However, if you hover a marker with your mouse, you’ll see its tooltip (its title) if you’ve enabled tooltips in the settings.

                    hello

                    I have one POI per post and want to order the layer they display as less important points are overlapping important points. I have attempted to code it so it displays the newest post at the top. The only way i have been able to reorder is to change the slug of the category which is a bad solution

                    [mashup width="99%" adaptive="true" sort="false" query="posts_per_page=-1&post_type=post&order=DESC&orderby=date" maptypeid="satellite" height="900"]
