FacetWP A-Z Listing

Large lists are hard to scan. Directories, product catalogs, recipe collections and archives often hold hundreds of entries, and visitors need a quick way to jump to the one they want. This add-on builds an A-Z index from the first letter of a data source you choose, such as a post attribute or a custom field.

It runs inside FacetWP, so it sits alongside other facets like checkboxes, dropdowns, search and range filters for layered filtering. Results update with AJAX-driven filtering, and visitors can clear the letter in one click. The facet works with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and various themes, and developers get hooks and JavaScript events for custom behavior.

Features

• Filter by first letter: Visitors click a letter to show only listings or search results whose chosen data field starts with that letter, which makes browsing long lists quick.
• Choose your data source: Pick any post attribute or custom field as the source for the A-Z index, so you control how content is sorted and displayed.
• One-click reset: Visitors can clear the filter by clicking the selected letter again or the Any link, and they can keep browsing without a page reload.
• Works with other facets: The facet runs natively in FacetWP, so it can be combined with checkboxes, dropdowns, search and range filters for layered filtering.
• Page builder and theme support: It supports builders such as Elementor, Beaver Builder and Bricks, along with various themes, which gives you flexibility when styling the index.
• Custom labels and styling: Change the default Any label and adjust how the A-Z list looks so it matches your site's branding and design.
• Custom alphabet and accents: Hooks let you set a custom alphabet and remove accents from characters, which helps when your content uses letters outside the standard set.
• Hooks for developers: Advanced hooks, filters and JavaScript events let developers extend the facet or change its behavior for more complex use cases.
