Seblod Team - Thank you for dedicating your time to this project. I previously posted this issue/request/configuration problem on Github, but was told that the forum would be the right place for this. I am attempting to use the Select - Dynamic field to sort by the Joomla vote calculation. I am able to use this field to display the correct value; however, this field is ordering by the value (article ID) rather than the options name (the rating calculation). This is probably because the sort is accessing the values from the database rather than the values displayed to the end user. This field would be much more useful if it was possible to order the field by the value displayed to the user rather than the values saved in the database. I am not sure if there is another way to do this that I am missing, but any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Eric
Hi eric,
It's already possible. See below. The arrow is pointing to the field where you can specify a field that you wish the results to be ordered by. In your case, put in here the same value that you have in the "Options Name" field.
Cheers,
James
James,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I think I didn't state what I am trying to do clearly enough. I am not trying to sort the results in the field itself, but rather I would like to sort a list by the value that appears to the end user in the Select - Dynamic field. Thanks.
Hi eric,
OK then perhaps you need to take a look at this Manual which may help you. Whichever field you defined in the "Options Name" field of your select dynamic should be added to the "ordering" view of your Search & List type.
Cheers,
James
