Map List Sorting

List Sorting adds a sort dropdown to your map, letting users reorder items by any CMS field. Enable List Sorting in Dynamic Map App, select the sortable fields, sort order options and set a default sort order, update the code embed, and style the ncf-sort element in Webflow. Set a default sort order in both collection lists (main and pop-up/tooltip) — mismatched sorting causes pop-ups to display wrong content.

Intro

List sorting helps users quickly find the information they’re looking for.

Locate and Style in Webflow Designer

The ncf-sort element is placed within the filter wrapper div cru-ncf-map-filter. It can be styled like a default Webflow dropdown element.

Rename the dropdown options

By default, all options are displayed in lowercase. You can easily change this by following this guide:
