How can we get a list of posts on a custom taxonomy page to sort by post title instead of by most recently published?

Hi,

The theme blocks can display custom post types, just enter the custom post type in the required field

The post can also be sorted alphabetically if that is needed. These are all the viable block settings at the moment

Thank you, Simion. That was helpful. Follow-up questions…

How can I mirror the functionality of regular post category pages (Category Template, Category Top Posts Style, Article Display View) on my custom content type categories?

I have read this page
Custom Post Type Support and understand about copying taxonomy.php to taxonomy-custom-type-name.php but that doesn’t seem to replicate all the functionality of the main category pages.

Thanks for your help. This is a great product, and I have read all the docs. Sometimes I need help connecting the dots between what I’ve read.

Hi,

That would have to be done by creating as mentioned, copies of the theme taxonomy.php file found in the main theme folder. Use your available taxonomies names when creating the copy in the child theme. An example

Now you can customize this created copy, it will be used to display the taxonomy page. Taxonomy pages cannot be customized like default category pages, in the theme panel. There could be more support for custom post types added in future theme updates, but I cannot say for sure.

Thanks
