When I list cities in a dropdown, some entries are not ordered alphabetically. Scroll to the bottom of the select list and you’ll see some orphaned entries:

http://travelnevada.com/accommodations/ (look at the bottom of the select list).

EE code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="cities" status="open" dynamic="no" orderby="title" sort="asc"}
  <option value="{url_title}">{title}</option>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks in advance!

Hello Hue Labs,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

That is odd. Your code looks good.

I wonder if the text in that field has an odd character in it that’s causing it to be thrown to the bottom of the list? If you enable the the debugging you should be able to see the queries that are run for each page. Check on the query that calls the city names and see if there is any “extra” stuff in the field.

To turn debugging on please go to your Control Panel and navigate to Admin->System Administration-> Output and Debugging. Please set the last two settings, which are “Display Output Profiler?” and “Display Template Debugging?”, to yes.

Please let me know what you find.

Cheers,

Okay, thanks Shane. I showed in the query that order_by actually had “sticky|title”. Strange because that’s not what I had in my parameter.

However, adding the parameter sticky=“off” resolved the issue.
