Pascal France	Wednesday 26 April 2006 3:22:52 am Hi, I would like to use this hack: http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/expandablelist but I face a problem I can't solve: I would like to sort the objects that are not sorted by default (in fact, they seem to be sorted by published date). So, I use the sort_by function in this line: {def $items=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash( 'parent_node_id', $expandable_rootnode_id, 'sort_by', array(array(priority))))} in the extension/expandablelist/design/standard/templates/expandablelist.tpl tamplate. But each time I use this function either I get nothing or something like that: http://www.linuxorable.net/ez_publish/index.php/linuxorable Is there someone who could explain me why this fucntion doesn't works ? I tried several other syntaxes, but nothing works. Regards Pascal PS: when I use the "class_filter_type', 'exclude'" function, it works fine.

Łukasz Serwatka	Wednesday 26 April 2006 11:15:25 pm The first element of the array must be the desired sorting method. The second element of the array must be the sorting direction, it can be either true() or false() - ascending or descending.

Hi,

I would like to use this hack:
http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/expandablelist

but I face a problem I can't solve: I would like to sort the objects that are not sorted by default (in fact, they seem to be sorted by published date).
So, I use the sort_by function in this line:

{def $items=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash( 'parent_node_id', $expandable_rootnode_id, 'sort_by', array(array(priority))))}

in the extension/expandablelist/design/standard/templates/expandablelist.tpl tamplate.
But each time I use this function either I get nothing or something like that:
http://www.linuxorable.net/ez_publish/index.php/linuxorable

Is there someone who could explain me why this fucntion doesn't works ?

I tried several other syntaxes, but nothing works.

Regards

Pascal

PS: when I use the "class_filter_type', 'exclude'" function, it works fine.

Hi Lukasz,

It's the first syntaxe I tried according with the offcial doc, but it doesn't work too.
