    Thanks again for your help. I will be glad to use the drop-down list feature when it is available.

    Hello again,

    > Is fe_author custom taxonomy or meta?

    It is a custom taxonomy whose terms are referenced and linked in the loop of two page templates I use for storing articles on the site:

    article-page.php
    https://pastebin.com/NEt7v0rh

    and

    article-no-subtitle.php
    https://pastebin.com/1BLuaC5N

    The first template is used for articles that have subtitles (which appear in the Subtitle custom field). The second one is used for articles that have no subtitles.

    > If you are confused then just share me the screenshot of the screen where you are saving it so that I can better understand it.

    The custom taxonomy was made by the WP plugin Simple Taxonomy. I am attaching a screenshot of the admin panel showing settings for fe_author. I will be glad to send a screenshot from a different place if needed.

    > Currently, the plugin does not provide this [drop-down list] functionality but will be implemented in the future version of the plugin.

    I am looking forward to having the drop-down list functionality.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your response.

    I would like to get results related to the terms in the fe_author custom taxonomy. In the example I cited, and which you show in your screenshot, the result for Karen L. Frank is:

    https://www.fifthestate.org/fe_author/karin-l-frank/

    There is only one article for this author, but some of our authors have multiple articles, which would be nice to present sorted ascending by title.

    Is there a way to display a drop-down list from which users could select an author (i.e. taxonomy term) rather than typing in a name? That would be ideal for my purposes.

    Best regards,

    Robby

    Hi again,

    Thanks for your swift reply.

    From the documentation I see that for Ordering by parent says…

    parent – Order by post/page parent id.

    For me ordering by the parent title, not ID, is needed, since the titles of my page parents begin with numbers (issue numbers), whereas the parent IDs relate to when those pages were added to WP, not necessarily in a numerical order.

    Do you think Order by Parent Title could be added as an Ivory Search feature?

    If not, I would be grateful if you could give me a code snippet that could accomplish the same thing.

    Thanks very much for your help so far.
