Using staff profiles is a great way to show off your staff or highlight people in your organization or department. Hydraulic has the ability to enter a title, first name, and last name into the profile. Depending on how you enter the information will determine how the profile is created and how it will sort.
Content order will override all the sorting options as it takes precedence. These sorting options build upon one another so you could use content order to make sure someone is first but then dictate the other profiles use the other sorting options in cascading order.
Order of precedence is as follows:
- Content Order (-20 — 20)
- Last Name (A - Z)
- First Name (A - Z)
- Title (A - Z)
If you enter a title and no first name or last name then the profiles will be sorted by Title alphabetically (A-Z).
If you enter a title and a first and last name then the profiles will be sorted by Last Name, then First Name, and then Title in alphabetical order (A-Z).
If you enter a first name and last name without a title, the title will be automatically created by combining the first and last names to create a title. Profiles will then be sorted by Last Name, then First Name, and then Title in alphabetical order (A-Z).
The only time the title will be automatically created for your is when it is left blank and first and last name has been entered. You can edit or change the title to anything you like and it will stay that way but the sorting order will still use the Last and First names.
