Sort a custom post type array numerically

by

We’ve set up drop down lists to allow people to filter posts based on custom post types.

In order to populate the drop down list I am using:

<?php $terms = get_terms("ratios");
$count = count($terms);
if ( $count > 0 ){
 foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
     echo "<option value="" . $term->slug . "">" . $term->name . "</option>";
 }
}?>
</select>

The slug and the name are pretty similar, so I don’t mind which one we are using.

How can I list them as integers?

get_terms function will return an array of object. Each of them has term_id field which contains id of a term. Just use it instead of slug and you will have what you need:

<?php $terms = get_terms("ratios");
if ( $count($terms) > 0 ){
 foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
     echo "<option value="" . $term->term_id . "">" . $term->name . "</option>";
 }
}?>
</select>
