    Is there a parameter to deal with case matching for a category/column filter?

    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/tablepress/

    Reason for asking:

    Two terms in my filter column:

    ELearning
    eLearning

    The filter column displays only the first of these

    BUT

    the item with the second form of the term is not filtered!

    Oops – sorry this is a mistake!

    In fact the filter lists both versions of the keyword BUT the keyword beginning with the lower case letter is listed at the end of the list, after the keywords that begin with a capital letter.

    It would be preferable therefore if the column filter could list keywords alphabetically regardless of their case.

    Not an urgent fix though.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble as well as for the late reply. I’ve been on holidays and therefore couldn’t reply earlier.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I’m not aware of an easy fix here. By default, sorting in JS takes uppercase/lowercase into account, so sorting this differently would require a different sorting algorithm, I think :-/

    Thanks. Just thought I would check. It’s not too inconvenient. I just have to make sure every category term starts with the same case letter!

    Hi,

    yes, using the same casing for similar words is the best solution here, I think.
