Sort the categories in an alphabetical order in the presence of plugin

”Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order’ plugin’, order Categories and all custom taxonomies terms (hierarchically) using a Drag and Drop Sortable javascript capability.

When the condition arrives, where we want to order particular categories / taxonomies in the alphabetical order, then we can use the ksort. Check the example :

function sortCategories($items) {
    $placeHolder = [];
    
    foreach ($items as $item) {
        $placeHolder[$item->name]= $item;
    }
    
    ksort($placeHolder);
    
    return $placeHolder;
}

function sortCategories($items) {

$placeHolder = [];

foreach ($items as $item) {

$placeHolder[$item->name]= $item;

}

ksort($placeHolder);

return $placeHolder;

}

   $args = array(
		'orderby'  => 'name', 
   		'order'    => 'ASC',
	        'child_of' => 0,
	         'parent'  => 0,
	         'hide_empty'  => 0,
	         );
	                
$categoriesT = get_categories( $args );
$categories = sortCategories($categoriesT);

echo '<ul>'
 foreach($categories as $category) {
            echo '<li>' . $category->name.'</li>';
        }
echo '</ul>'

$args = array(

'orderby' => 'name',

'order' => 'ASC',

'child_of' => 0,

'parent' => 0,

'hide_empty' => 0,

);

$categoriesT = get_categories( $args );

$categories = sortCategories($categoriesT);

echo '<ul>'

foreach($categories as $category) {

echo '<li>' . $category->name.'</li>';

}

echo '</ul>'
