Adding placeholder to exposed sort in a view

function my module_form_views_exposed_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) { // All of these are not working. $form['sort_by']['#select2']['placeholder'] = t('Placeholder'); $form['sort_by'] ['#empty_option'] = t('Placeholder'); $form['sort_by']['#placeholder'] = t('Placeholder'); }

I think it's not possible to add placeholder to the sort widget as view applies the first sort option by default.

Also, it is not possible to add a placeholder to select2 facets from the UI. I added it in the following way

 */
function my_modul_preprocess_select(array &$variables) {
    $facet_id = $variables['attributes']['data-drupal-facet-id'];
    if (isset($variables['attributes']['data-select2-config'])) {
      $select2_config = Json::decode($variables['attributes']['data-select2-config']);
      $select2_config['placeholder']['text'] = t('New placeholder')
      $variables['attributes']['data-select2-config'] = Json::encode($select2_config);
    }
 
}
