Display navigation menu list alphabetically with jquery

Question

Hi guys, I am hoping some smart folks can help me here. I'm out of my depth. I had a wordpress site developed for me a little while ago. I paid the developer for his work, but he never delivered what he promised so I am left to try and fix it. Anyway...

The site uses some jquery to activate a drop down menu. When you click on a link called "Projects" it displays a slide out menu containing a list of posts. This menu contains 6 columns of text, and displays the posts in chronological order.

There are two things I need to achieve: 1. I need this menu to list the posts alphabetically and not chronologically. 2. I need the list order to go from top to bottom, starting from the 1st column, and continuing top to bottom in the other 5 columns. Currently it goes horizontally, so even if it was alphabetical, it would be the wrong order.

The code the currently drives the menu is below (I think). Does anyone know how I can change this so it applies the alphabetical sorting when it loads? I really don't know where to start and would be so grateful for any assistance.

function RegisterMenus() {        
    register_nav_menu('primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ));
}

This page on the Wordpress site appears to have some more info about how to ad further customisation to the code:

Answer 1

This JavaScript isn't sorting the menu. The menu's order is probably defined on an administration page in WordPress, which is also where you should try editing it (no coding should be required). I'm not sure about the list order direction, that might have to do with either JavaScript or CSS - but it could also be a setting or a piece of code in WordPress. Anyway, the code snippet you gave us is innocent.

Answer 2

If you're using WP3, your might be either the default WP theme Twenty Ten or is based on that theme, so look in Appearance/Menus to change the menu sort and levels. No code editing required.
