Sorting objects based on attribute (not in fetch though)

Saturday 23 January 2010 10:41:19 am

Hi, this question has been asked in the past but is usually solved by a sort_by in the fetch command. Another well known problem is the fact that you cant do an attribute sort when using the reverse_related_objects function other than the publish_date, modified_date etc.

In this post:

someone mentions creating a custom template function like:

$sorted = {$unsorted|sort('your_attribute',true())}

Has anyone created such a function that they could share? Any function that sorts a collection of objects would help.

thanks.

Thanks Carlos, I'll check out the extended attribute filter and see if I can make it do sorting on this specific attribute I have. I also appreciate the feedback on the template function idea, it does make more sense to do the sort on the fetch.
