Hi,

I have a bunch of faq node that aren't categorized, and others that are included in categories. When I try to reorder them (with the 'order' tab), I can see only faq nodes. How can I reorder categories, relating to faq nodes (i.e., a faq node, then a category, again a faq node, and so on...)?

This should be done via the taxonomy admin screen. List all your terms in the vocabulary and you should have a drag and drop sort order ability. Put it in the order you would like there and give that a shot.

Probably I hadn't been as clear as I thought. I have no problem to order terms and faq items; the problem is that the order is unique to each of these sets and I cannot setup a comprehensive order, to interleave items from taxonomy and faq sets.

Would you mind attaching an image to demonstrate what is going on and possibly some text to say what order you are looking for it to be in. Sorry I'm more of a visual person :( it's a pitfall...

In the attached image (sorry, it's in Italian language) you can read a taxonomy term ("Accertamenti esecutivi") with a nested one ("Dopo la notifica dell'avviso di accertamento") and three faq items, categorized into the first taxonomy term.

My goal is to put a faq item before the nested term, then that term, and again other faq items:

  • Qual è il termine per fare ricorso (faq item)
  • Dopo la notifica dell'avviso di accertamento (nested term that contains other faq items)
  • Cosa significa "titolo esecutivo" (faq item)
  • Questo nuovo iter è applicabile a tutti gli atti impositivi dell'Agenzia delle Entrate? (faq item)

If I'm not mistaken the way that FAQ sorts is Taxonomy Term first and then displays all FAQ items inside of it. I don't believe that the FAQ item can be above or below the Taxonomy Term.

And this was exactly my issue.

We will need to take a further look and see if we are able to have a FAQ that doesn't have a category and if so how does it display.

It probably displays like this.

  • FAQ Term
    • FAQ Item
    • FAQ Item
  • FAQ Term
    • FAQ Item
    • FAQ Item
  • FAQ Term
    • FAQ Item
    • FAQ Item
  • FAQ Item

So the terms if anything are probably first and then if you have a FAQ item w/o a term it probably shows up last. I haven't had time to test this out but I will do so. If you know what it does in this scenario please let me know. That's just one less step for me to take later.

In the previously attached image the behavior was exactly as you have depicted here:

at the beginning, a list of ordered (as I want) faq terms, and at the end a list of ordered (as I want) faq items (that aren't categorized, or categorized in a parent faq term).

So you need to be able to do the following.

  • FAQ Item
  • FAQ Term
    • FAQ Item
    • FAQ Item
  • FAQ Item
  • FAQ Term
    • FAQ Item
    • FAQ Item

Yes, you focused the problem

Alright I will start looking into giving the ability to sort both of these on the faq page.

Currently it's not possible to display uncategorized FAQs on the faq page when categorisation is enabled. I'm not sure whether we'll add this functionality or not but it certainly won't be for the next release, and would be added to the D7 version first in any case, so marking as postponed for now.
