Custom Order not working

Hello

please note that frontend order selector will override the "default" ordering

you can send me a PM with access to it
and i will look at it

Hello

ok i see your PM

But you have not sent me super user access to the website

Hello

probably the issue is not the frontend selector
- just the frontend selector will display the default configure ordering

i need backend super user access because i will edit PHP files on the disk to find why this is happening

Hello

2 things

- your testing website had 3.3.0-dev, (so custom field order could have being bogus, because we fixed an issue with it)
i installed v3.2.0-RC2c

- your testing website had the "CUSTOM field ordering" 'Enable' to OFF
i enabled it

so it is working now


Finally it is good to add in the frontend selector override your custom order so that it can be displayed and selected automatically

i am not sure if you had done the above because site is in chinese

Hi
I still got the problem about custom order in Frontend Overrides.
Because I remember it works in 3.1, so I try to find out what's the difference:

In 3.2:
file: db.php
static function buildItemOrderBy
// 2. If allowing user ordering override, then get ordering from HTTP request variable
$request_order = $app->input->get($request_var.$sfx, '', 'cmd');
$order = $params->get('orderby_override') && $request_order ? $request_order : $order;

$order shows 'custom25intdesc'
The SQL shows 'ORDER BY i.title ASC, i.title ASC'

In 3.1:
file: flexicontent.helper.php
static function buildItemOrderBy
// 2. If allowing user ordering override, then get ordering from HTTP request variable
$order = $params->get('orderby_override') && ($request_order = JRequest::getVar($request_var.$sfx)) ? $request_order : $order;

$order shows 'custom:25:int:desc'
The SQL shows 'ORDER BY f.value_integer DESC, i.title ASC'

This is the difference I found. Seems no ':' in 3.2. Maybe it helps.

Thanks,
Lomu
