So, with the powerful category sort function in the theme we've been able create a powerful interface which allows the user the ability to sort through multiple portfolios, however (as the functionality allows) we have a specific request to only show 48 items on the default category 'all', however....when the user clicks on any other category it seems like it's only sorting the initial 48 items so it appears we are only seeing a portion of the items that loaded with the first 48 items instead of ALL the items in that category. Additionally, we have a request to show each category in a very specific order, which we have been able to accomplish with Post Types ReOrder, but as it appears we cant control the order it brings each category we're really not able to use the native sort function.
So....as an alternative, we manually recreated the functionality by creating multiple tabs and dropping in each category separately, which would allow us to have control over which portfolio we view and what order you see the in using the tabs builder...
The problem is, for whatever reason when you click on a tab, there are portfolio items missing, the page seems to jump up / down and were getting these weird gaps instead of everything being flush and left justified as expected...
My thinking is if we can get this to work we'd be able to have all the functionality we are needing including:
- 48 items showing by default in an 'all' category
- All items portfolio items showing when user clicks a category (not just a portion of the initial 48)
- The ability to order each portfolio exactly how we want
Is there anything that would be creating these anomalies or we missing the way to accomplish this with the native portfolio sort functionality?
