    Hi there,

    I’m sorting by random in my main listing, but if someone searches by location the results still show listings by random (instead of by distance) which isn’t too useful. I’m assuming I can simply use pre_get_posts to change the way the search query orders things but what field do I sort by for distance?

    Thanks,
    Jonah

    Hi,

    I’m not really capable of answering this one. I flagged it for Stiofan.

    Thx for your patience,

    Hi Stiofan,

    Take a look here: http://distressedmullet.dev/shops/ – I’ve got Random set as the default sorting option and you can see the list reflects this correctly. Now do a search for “Miami” in the “Near” input and search. You’ll see the search results are displayed randomly as well. It seems like if you search by location, it should always show results by distance. And if you search by keyword, it should always show results by relevance. Otherwise it renders those search features kind of useless if you want to sort by random on the main list. Make sense?

    Thanks for your help!
