Hello William,

They are actually ordered by the ordering on the fields that you set in the profile type.

Hello Mark --

I do not see how to set the ordering in the profile type. Please explain. Thanks.

Hello William,

When you edit a profile type, click on "Custom Fields". Then, drag and drop the fields to re-order them

Hello Mark --

I do not think that this is correct. I have registration information arranged on 5 different tabs. The first tab includes the information required for initial registration. The additional tabs have optional fields that are completed after the new user is granted membership. As an example, I have "Name" on the first tab (required for initial registration). I have "Opportunities" (an optional field) on the fifth tab. However, on the "Select field" dropdown box, the "Opportunities" selection appears in the top position and the "Name" field appears in the third position. The other selections (total of 7), also appear in random order that is different from the tab order on which they appear. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi William,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding your issue, can you edit the file 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/advancedsearch/helpers/user.php' and go to line 297:

$query .= ' order by a.`ordering`';

and replace the above code with following:

$query .= ' order by fs.`sequence`, a.`ordering`';

Let me know if the above fix your fields ordering issue in advanced search page.

Hope this help and have a nice day
