Hey, dear  WordPress Tooltip Plugin  users,  I hope this message finds you well and having happy days with your family.  We just released WordPress Tooltips Pro Plus 35.9.8 and WordPress Tooltips Pro 20.8.4, based on an amazing wordpress tooltips user’s feedback:

 

Order on glossary page

Message:
Hi

I have a lot of tooltips do describe parts of model trains – I am a collector.

The tooltip Title includes a Version number generator: 1, 2, 3 oder 10.1, 10.4….

Look here:
But the order on the page is wrong….

It starts with everyting containing a 1 (also 1n), then 2… and so on.

Any chance to sort them correct???

Thx!

WordPress Tooltips support check the lovely site of the tooltip user, and we replied:

 Hi,

I hope this message find you are doing well and have wonderful day with your family 🙂

Thank you very much for the reply 🙂

Thanks for share the URL with us, but when we tried to open the page, the page saying:

Your access to this site has been limited by the site owner

Your access to this service has been limited. (HTTP response code 503)

If you think you have been blocked in error, contact the owner of this site for assistance.

It seems your site installed a great plugin: “wordfence” to block users 🙂

Sir, would you please:

1: give us a screenshot, so we can understand the issue better? 🙂

2: give us a little details about the issue in the screenshot

3: tell us the tooltips version you are using

Thanks, have a blessed day with your family 🙂

Best Regards,

Support

The tooltip user give us more details:

Hi Support!

The links works without authorization……

You can see: Typ 1.6, Typ 12.3 and….. Typ 2.
Should be 1.6, 2. 12.3 – can be fixed wit 01.6, 2, 12.3….. but not. nice.

Latest version of your software.

If there will be an option to disable sorting completely…. There are some Plugins that can oder them by hand.

Our wordpress tooltips developer reviewed the ticket and we developed new versions to realize the tooltip user’s great suggestion:

Hi,

I hope this message finds that you are doing well and having wonderful weekend with your family 🙂

Our developer checked your feature request carefully, by default glossary page will display glossary items by title, we are developing a new version like this:

1: in glossary settings panel, we added a new option: “Custom Glossary Item Order”

In here, you can just enter glossary ID (comma-separated list)

2: In frontend, glossary will display items by ID order entered in the backend

I hope this solution will resolve the issue for you, if we miss-understanding you, sorry for it, please just tell us more details (we can not open your page yet).

Thanks, have a blessed weekend with your family 🙂

Best Regards,

Support:)

 

Custom Glossary Item Order, Now Live in WordPress Tooltips Plugin

The “Custom Glossary Item Order” option empowers Glossary users by allowing complete control over the sequence in which glossary items are displayed. Here’s how it benefits them:
  1. Prioritization of Key Terms
    Users can highlight important or frequently accessed terms by placing them at the top, improving accessibility for readers.
  2. Logical Grouping
    Items can be arranged thematically or alphabetically, making navigation more intuitive and reducing the time users spend searching.
  3. Consistency with Content Strategy
    Aligns the display order with editorial priorities, such as mirroring the sequence of terms in related documentation or training materials.
  4. Dynamic Adaptability
    Enables quick adjustments to the order without modifying core content, accommodating evolving topics or user feedback seamlessly.
In essence, this option transforms the glossary from a static list into a dynamic, user-centric resource that enhances readability and supports strategic content delivery.

5: to obtain the glossary IDs for all tooltips in the settings panel, simply hover your mouse over the ‘edit’ link of each tooltips item. You will see a link like this:

tooltips.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=232&action=edit

The number ‘232’ in this link represents the glossary ID. Copy these glossary IDs and arrange them in the desired order. For instance, you can customize the order of glossary items by arranging the glossary IDs like this:

177, 232, 231, 207, 131, 172, 173, 174, 175. Make a note of this ID number sequence as we will be using it shortly to customize the order of glossary items

6: please create a glossary demo page, simply enter the glossary shortcode [ glossary ] as the content, my glossary test page looks like this:

default glossary order

default glossary order

As you can see, the default sorting is alphabetical, next, we will customize glossary item order
7: in wordpress dashboard, please click on the glossary settings sub-menu item, in wordpress tooltips pro plus 35.9.8, it looks like this:

177, 232, 231, 207, 131, 172, 173, 174, 175 in the option, then click the blue save changes button

You can find the online demo at here

Please note that in this area, ambiguity often arises because we have a glossary archive page. This page originates from your theme’s category archive template. Our wordpress tooltips plugin cannot control this template from your theme, but we offer a paid customization service— good, fast, cheap. We can very quickly customize a child theme for you. This allows your theme to continue receiving updates while preserving the customized glossary template you desire. 🙂

Thanks, have a blessed day with your family 🙂
Best Regards,
