Organize information in alphabetical order - Html/Javascript or Wordpress

Question

Following,

I have a website on wordpress, I created a page inside that site and on that page I will have a list of companies more or less like this:

Company A - (Company name)

• Company data (This data will be hidden, will appear when the user clicks on the company name).

Company B

Company C

I’ll feed this list manually, then may day I’ll add company that starts with X the next day company that starts with B and so on.

It is possible to make an automatic organization via javascript, where I put one company below the other independent of the initial letter of her name and when it goes to air go alphabetically?

I do not know if it was very clear the doubt, but in short I want to know how to organize a list automatically in alphabetical order.

Thank you.

Guys, how I’m wearing wordpress I chose to use custom post type as colleagues suggested in the answers, legal created the post type is working right, but it is still a bit complicated to organize them in alphabetical order, was reading Codex what is a bit too complicated alias FOR ME, and la says that the query function is in the query.php file, but in my theme does not have this file. I took a look at the functions.php files and also found nothing query, which exact file should "stir"?

Answer 1

Since you are using Wordpress, could not insert these companies as a custom post type? Then just insert a loop on the page to display the companies with the argument of alphabetical order.

My answer will remain incomplete, but for you to base, the code to create a custom post type company would look like this:

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'thinkup_widgets_init' );
register_post_type('empresas', array(
'labels' => array(
            'name' => __( 'empresas' ),
            'singular_name' => __( 'Ver empresas' ),
            'add_new' => __('Novo empresas'),
            'add_new_item' => __('Adicionar novo empresas'),
            'edit_item' => __('Editar empresas'),
            'new_item' => __('Novo empresas'),
            'view_item' => __('Visualizar empresas'),
            'search_items' => __('Pesquisar empresas')
),
'menu_position' => 3,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'empresas'),
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'supports' => array('title', 'thumbnail', 'revisions' , 'editor', 'excerpt'  )
)
);

A new type of Post will appear in your dashboard, add the companies there. And to pull in a loop these companies, part of the argument code for alphabetical order (orderby) would look something like this:

$args = array(

  'post_type' => array('empresas'),
  'posts_per_page' => 6,
   'orderby' => 'name',
   );

I hope you have an idea about what to do.

This is a sort form for javascript array.

var items = [
  { name: 'Edward', value: 21 },
  { name: 'Sharpe', value: 37 },
  { name: 'And', value: 45 },
  { name: 'The', value: -12 },
  { name: 'Magnetic' },
  { name: 'Zeros', value: 37 }
];
items.sort(function (a, b) {
  if (a.name > b.name) {
    return 1;
  }
  if (a.name < b.name) {
    return -1;
  }
  // a must be equal to b
  return 0;
});
