Can anyone tree_sort() my term->children() ?

[David Golding]

I'm getting the results of term->children() not sorted. I can't seem to get my children nicely ordered the same as get_tree($orderby= 'mptt_left ASC') 

Am I missing something obvious?

$html = '';

// don't want entire tree

// $rt = $this->vocabulary->get_tree();

// Instead would like to work on root terms rt

$rt = $this->vocabulary->get_root_terms(); 

foreach ( $rt as $term_ob )

{

    $children = $term_ob->children();

    // $children->tree_sort(); fails here as non-object

    $html .= Format::term_tree($children, 'test_tree_name', array());

}

echo $html;

In your example, $term_ob->children() returns an array. If you want to
call ->tree_sort() on the result, then it needs to be an instance of
Terms. You can do that like this:

$children = new Terms($term_ob->children());

I'm not sure why it doesn't already return Terms, so I'll likely make
that change today. Besides that, I can't think of a reason why it
should return the terms out of order to begin with - at any level - so
I'll see if I can have both get_root_terms() and children() return their
results in tree order.
