One more sorting question, how do sort within the category like at http://emoji.codes/ where all the smiley faces are together / people are together / etc. It has a very neat order. I've tried sorting by the unicode value but that wasn't it.
Hey, thats a great idea! We went ahead and just added it to our json file, as "category_order". :)
you rock!
Glad to help! Feel free to shoot us an email if you end up integrating us somewhere, we're very excited to see what people will do with these!
