# Customize Sorting Dropdown and Behavior

 * I have two questions about customizing the sorting dropdown in WPAdverts:
    1. Is there a way to remove certain options from the sorting dropdown? For example,
       my site doesn’t use prices, so I’d like to remove any price-related sorting 
       options.
    2. Currently, when you open the sorting dropdown and want to close it, you have
       to click specifically on the “Publish Date” text. It would be much better for
       user experience if clicking anywhere outside the dropdown could close it, similar
       to how most standard dropdowns behave.
 * Could you please let me know if these customizations are possible?
 * Thanks very much!

 * You can remove the options you do not want to use with the adverts_list_sort_options
   filter, for example to remove anything price related add the code below in your
   theme functions.php file (or even better create a new blank plugin and paste 
   the code there [https://wpadverts.com/blog/how-to-use-code-snippets-in-wordpress/](https://wpadverts.com/blog/how-to-use-code-snippets-in-wordpress/)).
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( "adverts_list_sort_options", function( $so ) {    unset( $so["price"] );    return $so;} );
       ```
   
 * Changing how/when the dropdown closes is not possible right now but i will add
   this issue to our issue tracker and it should be changed in one of next releases
