Thread

Hi, is it possible to order results using the advanced search form using any custom field from the channel?
I’ve checked the docs and it oly appears to give these options:

<select name=“orderby”>
  <option value=“date” >{lang:date}</option>
  <option value=“title” >{lang:title}</option>
  <option value=“most_comments” >{lang:most_comments}</option>
  <option value=“recent_comment” >{lang:recent_comment}</option>
</select>

I’ve tried to use something like this with no results:

<option value=”{custom_field}”>{custom field}<option>

Thanks in advance.

nosgnl,

I don’t believe so unfortunately. You are welcome to make a feature request or there are third party add-ons available which may help

There is also a hack in the Wiki although it’s for 1.x so you may or may not have a good run with it if you decided to go that route.

Search By Custom Field

Myself I would personally recommend using Super Search from Solspace as that will let you do this and oh so much more.

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks for the assist, Mark.

nosgnl = does the information from John and Mark help?

Sure!!! Thanks a lot for helping me.

I’ll go for the hack since I’m quite in hurry and I neeed to solve this problem right now. But seems like the super search module is the way to go in order to solve this propperly, I’ll give it a try when I have time.

Thank you very much

Sounds great! Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
