 * I am working on a website in Persian. I need a plugin like yours to sort to different
   custom post types alphabetically. I have three questions:
 * 1. How can I make it work with Arabic/Persian script?
    2. How can it work with
   custom post time? 3. How can I make it work in multiple places?

 * Hi,
 * Here are answers for your queries:
 * 1. Do you want alphabets in Arabic/Persian or your posts names are also in Arabic/
   Persian? Alphabets can be translated to any languages. Can you please mention
   your website here so i look into the posts titles?
 * 2. It works with all custom post types when they are inside some taxonomies.
 * 3. Are you talking about multiple places on the same page or on different pages?
   If you are talking about different pages (e.g. on a few categories) then this
   feature is already included in it.
 * Thanks,
    Fahad

 * Thanks. The website is not built yet. I am looking for plugins that I can use
   when I begin building it.
 * 1. Yes, the site is going to be in Persian. So if the website is in Persian the
   plugin can sort the posts based on Persian order of the alphabet?
 * 2. That’s what I need.
 * 3. I am talking about displaying different types of custom post types in different
   pages. It seems it works for me.

 * Hi,
 * In fact i want to know that will alphabets be translated in Persian or not? If
   yes, it means that posts titles will be in Persian too? I am not sure that mysql(
   WordPress search query) will manage it, can you please send me a few entries 
   of posts titles so i try it at my end and help you better?
 * Thanks,
    Fahad

 * Here is a sample website:
    [http://alefba.us/behdaar/?cat=1](http://alefba.us/behdaar/?cat=1)
   I added Persian and Persian alphabet to “languages.php”.
 * In the website I have posts for the letters آ , ب , ز, ک , and م . When one clicks
   on the letter the posts beginning with that letter show up. But when I am in 
   the category page the posts are not sorted alphabetically even though I have 
   implementation set to “auto”. (by the way implementation is spelled “implentation”
   in the setting page.)
 * One more question: why do we have a “#” sign at the beginning of the alphabet
   bar?

 * Hi,
 * Yes, its working with Persian letters too, i have checked it. For sorting ASC
   or DESC it will expect that these are either alphabets or with numeric order (
   mysql understand these two things). I will surely correct the spelling of implementation
   in settings page. “#” sign is available for those posts which starts with numbers.
   You can hide it with CSS class if don’t to display. One more thing i think you
   should have on your website is, rtl (right to left) for your alphabets so it 
   will give a good look. Do you want me to add this Persian/Arabic language array
   in next build? If so, you can send me this updated file.
 * Thanks,
    Fahad
