The Sort Settings interface is available by default only to administrator role users. There are situations when sort settings need to be available only for certain users. The apto/wp-admin/reorder-interface/view-settings-capability filter help on that matter.
The following example hide the sort settings interface if logged-in user is not ID 1 or 2 or 3. This can be extended to check against username, user meta data etc. If not match it should return a capability that current user does not support.
add_filter('apto/wp-admin/reorder-interface/view-settings-capability', 'view_settings_capability'); function view_settings_capability($capability) { $user_ID = get_current_user_id(); if(!in_array($user_ID, array(1, 2, 3))) $capability = '_sort_capability_'; return $capability; }
