"Select Sort" name change in "Filter - Select"

How To
1

Hi there,

I am using the Filter-Select to create a sorting functionality for my blog posts. I was not able to solve two things - maybe you can support.

  1. The filter as a standard has “Select sort” as naming in the dropdown. Can this naming be changed?
  2. The posts by default sort by “published date” - newest first. This is obviously one of the sorting options in the “Filter-Select” as well. It would hence make sense, to have this sorting displayed in the filter as the standard when visiting the blog site and not the “Select sort”. Is this possible?

Many thanks for your support!

I am refering to this “Select Sort” wording in the dropdown. Would be great if someone had an idea of how to change. Many thanks!

  2. It’s not possible to set your option as the default value. Bricks will choose the selected option based on the current URL parameter.

Hope it is helpful for someone having the same question.
