Craig Hirsch	Saturday 11 October 2003 3:04:49 pm Help -- I've attempted to sort my search results by class_identifier using the search operator in EZ 3.2, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using sort_by, array('class_identifier',true()) but my search results are still sorted in some fallback default way, not by class ID. any ideas as to how to get this working? --Craig -- chirsch{AT}gmail{d.t}com
David Syers	Monday 13 October 2003 9:56:25 am Hi there Craig Are you trying to sort by class (ie. Article, Product, Forum Message, etc.)? If so you want to use: sort_by, array( 'class_name', true() ) If however you want to sort on an identifier with the class it is not documented very well, but what you need to do is also specify the name of the class identifier. ie. The class "Product" has an identifier "product_nr", to sort by this you need to use: sort_by, array( 'class_identifier', array( 'product_nr', true() ) ) Hope this helps.
Marco Zinn	Monday 13 October 2003 10:42:20 am Hi, I think, you should take care about terminologies here: "Class name" is not "class identifier" and this is NOT "class ID". For example: The Class name might be "Article" (or, if I decide to translate it "Artikel") The class identfier would be "article" and you should not change this in translating or in customization as this could and should be used in templates. I think, this is, what Craig wants to do. Class-ID is a number (ie. "1"). Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
