  • Great plugin that can be used for all sorts of things.

    Easy to use, with full of possibilities, especially regarding PHP. Thanks to Ethan Lin for his work and dedication.

  • Works great.

    Updating the legacy "A-Z Listing" listings is seamless.

  • A-Z Indexing

    Thank you very much for creating this fork - I loved Dani's original but removed it after it was abandoned. Thanks again for all your efforts.

  • Works like a charm!

    I recently noticed that A-Z Listing appears to be abandoned, so I was happy to see that Ethan Lin had forked it. Transition to the new plugin could not have been easier, and so far it seems to work perfectly. This is my third A-Z plugin (I started with WP-Snap years ago, which was also abandoned and replaced by A-Z Listing). Thanks Ethan!

  • Ersatz für AZindex

    Hello Ethan, I found your plugin today, and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I've been using AZIndex for about 15 years, which is no longer being developed. I'm testing it now and will keep you updated... Thanks for your work. Update 29.10.2025: Hi Ethan, I've been testing your plugin for a while now and I'm thrilled. It's easy to use and does exactly what it's supposed to. Thanks!

  • Excellent option for a-z product listings index

    Exactly the plugin I was looking for to create a smooth listing of all my shop's products. It is lightweight and straightforward. Friendly and fast support! Highly recommended!
