In Madara 1.5.1.4, we introduced a new feature that allows you to create an “All Manga (A-Z)” page, where all manga titles are listed in alphabetical order. You can check the demo here:
🔗 All Manga (A-Z) Demo. But what if you don’t use English? The default Latin characters (A-Z) may not work for languages that use different alphabets. No worries! We’ve already provided a way to modify or translate the list of characters used in the sorting. You can easily customize the character list using a simple filter in your child theme’s functions.php file.
1. How to Modify or Translate the List of Characters
To change the characters used in the A-Z Manga Page, just add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file:
2. Customize the Character List for Your Language
👉 Replace the default string (0123456789abcdefghyjklmnopqrstuvwxyz) with the characters you want to use.
For example:
- Vietnamese:
"0123456789aăâbcdđeêghiklmnoôơpqrstuưvxy" - Japanese (Kana Only):
"アイウエオカキクケコサシスセソタチツテトナニヌネノ" - Korean (Hangul Only):
"가나다라마바사아자차카타파하" - Russian:
"АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЪЫЬЭЮЯ"
This function allows full customization, so you can translate or modify the list of characters as needed.
3. Why This is Useful
✔ Supports Non-English Languages – Works for any alphabet, including Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, etc.
✔ Flexible Customization – Add numbers, symbols, or special characters if needed.
✔ SEO-Friendly – Helps organize manga listings more efficiently, improving user experience.
4. Conclusion: Easily Modify or Translate the A-Z Character List
With this simple tweak, you can modify or translate the list of characters used for sorting manga titles in the Madara theme. Just add the filter, update your characters, and enjoy a fully customized A-Z Manga Page! 🚀
