Being able to group with datatype

Tuesday 16 December 2003 11:00:11 am

I think it would be a good idea to be able to group results of a fetch command by attributes.

Exemple : if I want to have a calendar where I can specify the date of an event I should be able to do the same as in the blog Site with a custom date.

Im not clear on why you would want to make a calendar a datatype. Can you give better examples?

I'm not really shure but I think I tried to focus (perhaps a bit badly...) on something like this in this thread:

http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/sort_by_attribute_in_several_classes

It can be accomplished by putting the attribute in the name pattern, a quite ugly hack:

http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/fetch_sort_via_specific_field_/re_fetch_sort_via_specific_field__3

I suppose the code could look like this:

sort_by,array('attribute',false(), 'my_own_attribute')

and it should work like sort_by name, published etc. (on all classes with that attribute).

I'm not really shure that I use the correct vocabulary, hopefolly you understand what I mean...

Any comments?
