Search order by post type

Hey profumopuntoit,

Thank you for the inquiry.

The following code using the posts_orderby filter should work but only for the default search results page. It is not going to affect the AJAX search. You can add it in the functions.php file.

function avf_order_search_by_posttype($orderby){
    if (!is_admin() && is_search()) :
        global $wpdb;
        $orderby =
            "
            CASE WHEN {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_type = 'product' THEN '1' 
                WHEN {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_type = 'portfolio' THEN '2' 
                WHEN {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_type = 'post' THEN '3'      
            ELSE {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_type END ASC, 
            {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_title ASC";
    endif;
    return $orderby;
}
add_filter('posts_orderby', 'avf_order_search_by_posttype');

Please make sure to purge the cache before testing.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

For the AJAX search, you have to directly modify the enfold/functions-enfold.php file, look for the avia_ajax_search function and this comment around line 410.

//now we got everything we need to preapre the output

Above this line, add this block.

$sorted = array('portfolio' => $sorted['portfolio']) + $sorted;
$sorted = array('post' => $sorted['post']) + $sorted;
$sorted = array('product' => $sorted['product']) + $sorted;

Best regards,
Ismael
