    Hello,

    I really like your plugin – it’s simplistic and the CSV import function is just what we needed. It would be perfect except for one function – the ability to manually order entries. I need to have the President of the company show up first in the list and as it stands, it is not possible to do this – he ends up being down the list due to his name. Is there any way to make this happen? I have added a field called ‘Title’ and I need them to show up in this order:

    President
    Office Manager
    Inside Sales
    Inside Sales
    Quality Assurance Manager
    DLA Operations/Shipping
    Planning/Expedite/Document Control
    IT Specialist
    Controller/DLA Operations

    Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you!!

    Hello @angeleyz

    By default, StaffList will sort by the first ordered column in ascending order.
    You can add a column (for example, called: #) when you import your data, and in this column, enter numbers corresponding to your contact’s desired position in the StaffList, 1000-9999.

    Hello,

    Sorry I didn’t get to this previously. I just tried it and while it does technically work, I don’t want it to display the numbers on the page. If I move the # column to the not displayed list, it won’t sort by that order. It looks silly to have it displayed on the website…. any other ideas?

    Hello @angeleyz,

    If you don’t want an active column to be visible, you can do that with simple CSS. Something similar to:

    table.stafflists td:nth-child(2), table.stafflists th:nth-child(2) {
    display: none;
}

    Hello,

    I’m having trouble identifying the column I would need to block out. If you look at the following link, you will see the column I want to make invisible, labeled #.

    <<Removed>>

    How do I translate that into the CSS you provided?

    Thanks!

    Hello @angeleyz,

    I’m glad to hear you were able to hide columns with CSS.
    I believe this is the best solution for your specific need.

    I’ll now go ahead and close out the ticket.

    Best,
