searching sort order with ssi
|
Can't Post

hi
i am trying to get an ssi working on my project - that takes the listing results and puts them into date order. I understand the syntax but cannot fathom the logic of the numbers after the sort order. (...._search_results.html&sort_order=1,123,forward) I have read posts where the first numer is a minus number eg -11
in my project my lfield that contains the date is 6, does this have any bearing on the numbers?
with kind regards
Michael

Hi again Michael.
Thanks for this post as well  .
The field we usually do date sorting on is an internal field that doesn’t actually get set by the user. This makes the sorting much more accurate as not all of you clients will use the same format for storing the date.
To access this internal date field for sorting your results you’ll need to use field -11. It would look like this in an SSI:
<!--#include virtual=”/cgi-bin/listman/exec/search.cgi?search=1&template=_sorted_results.html&sort_order=-11,123,forward” -->
Does that make sense? Give it a shot and let me know how you make out .
