Sort exposed translated filters by their value.

Thanks for this patch, I used this as a base for a D7 and i18n_views 7.x-3.x-dev patch.

I have the same issue, but not related/using depth. I have a single level taxonomy list, and do exposed filtering on them. The problem is/was that the term list in a different language was ordered always like the "base language" as you also described in this issue.
The patch didn't worked, but I only had to add a none object comparison and I am also using
strnatcasecmp — Case insensitive string comparisons using a "natural order" algorithm
Otherwise lower-case terms are after upper-case ones.

I was mainly searching and trying to fix the list of terms when creating, but didn't got it working yet. This form_alter() was the only way I got a nice ordered list of terms in other languages.

If this is really a good way, I can post a patch if you like. But I will also ask for how we could fix this generally and not only with hook_form_alter()

/**
 * Implementation of hook_form_alter().
 */
function i18nviews_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id != 'views_exposed_form')
    return;

  foreach (element_children($form) as $key) {
    if (!preg_match('/^tid/', $key) && !preg_match('/^term_node_tid_depth/', $key)) continue;

    uasort($form[$key]['#options'], '_i18nviews_option_value_compare');

    if ($form[$key]['#options']['All']) {
      $all = array('All' => $form[$key]['#options']['All']);
      unset($form[$key]['#options']['All']);
      $form[$key]['#options'] = $all + $form[$key]['#options'];
    }
  }
}

// Custom sorting using "natural order"
function _i18nviews_option_value_compare(&$a, &$b) {
  if (is_object($a) && is_object($b)) {
    return strnatcasecmp(reset(array_values($a->option)), reset(array_values($b->option)));
  }
  elseif (is_string($a) && is_string($b)) {
    return strnatcasecmp($a, $b);
  }
}

Can I move this to Version 7 or should I create a new issue related to this ?
I think because D7 is current Version and my code is related to this its fine, if not please change it back.
I only try to help ... ;)

I am also looking for other issues, and think we should fix this in general and not only with hook_form_alter().
Will also ask over here how / where we should fix this issue: #444732: translated taxonomy terms in alphabetical order
The code there is not working for me.

Regards Cyclodex

Due this seems to be hard to better fix I just wanted to note, that I implemented some other hook_form_alter() to order all my select and checkboxes fields, finally I got a correct orderect list in a foreign language.
So the problem is done for me with this workaround.

Updated template.

Hi there, is there any change on this issue?

I'm having the same problem where the translated results are not sorted in the target language but in the originating language.

Cyclodex, if your patching worked, that would be great if you could share a patch file. :)

Thanks. :)

I'm in the same boat
