Sort order by field name? was created by asoundidea
Greetings,

Sorry to bug you, but I'm confused about something. I've used the field names, which I understood would work, to try and arrange the sort order, but it's not working. Did I do this wrong (screenshot attached)?



Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

no bother at all!
What you did is correct.
Now, in the menu item or module instance, you need to set the order 'by sort field'.

Thanks, but I'm still experiencing a problem. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the landing page off the menu item is not in the correct order and in the alphabetical search function, only one of the letter items shows up as a link.

I'm thinking that the search function isn't indexing completely. I have Smart Search working and all the contacts are indexed there. The TE search and Smart Search plugins are enabled and the corresponding core search plugins are disabled.

Is there some way to force the TE search function to reindex the entire contacts database?

Again, thanks for your help.

~Mike

Hello Mike,

I would need to see your parameter settings in order to have a clear understanding on what is wrong with the sorting order. Could you please either send a screenshot of the parameter settings (just the first tab with the order settings) or better, send the credentials to access your site to [email protected].

As far as the indexed search is concerned, any time you change settings or enable/disable the TE search settings, you will need to re-index your content. That means purging then re-indexing. There is no way around it. Joomla has no way to re-index only a subset of the site content so far.

Thanks, Olivier.

I'm sure it's just some setting I have wrong.

I've given you superuser access and sent the login info to your email address.

Thanks a lot for looking into this problem. I really appreciate it.

No problem, I know that with this amount of parameters, it may be overwhelming to set it up right :-)
Thank you for the access, I will take a look at it promptly.
