I need to sort entries by a custom number field. Custom field is set to Text Input and field content to number. (EE 2.2.1)

I have entries with numbers from 1 to 22 and expect them to be in this order.

{exp:channel:entries orderby="{poi_number}" sort="asc"  channel="poi"  category="{segment_2_category_id}" dynamic="no" disable="member_data"}
{if no_results} No Results {/if}
  <li value="{poi_number}" data-geo-lat="{p_lat}" data-geo-long="{p_long}">
  <h4><span>{poi_number}</span> {title}</h4>
<p>   <div class="longdesc">{p_body}</div><br />
  </li><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

This is the order displayed:

  1 Kailua Seawall
  3 Hulihee Palace
  2 Pa o Umi
  5 Hale Halawai
  4 Mokuaikaua Church
  6 Oneo Bay
  8 Kahului Bay
  7 Waiaha Beach Park
  11 Holualoa Bay
  12 Holualoa Royal Center
  10 Puapuaa (Banyans Surf Site)
  9 Hale Halawai o Holuloa (Living Stones Church)
  15 Laaloa Bay Beach Park
  13 Judd Trail
  14 Pahoehoe Beach Park
  17 Kuemanu Heiau
  16 Laaloa Bay
  18 St. Peter’s by the Sea Catholic Church
  19 Kahaluu Bay Beach Park
  21 Hapaialii & Keeku Heiau
  20 Helani Church/Ohiamukumuku Heiau
  23 Heritage Corridor Overlook
  22 Makolea Heia

Try this instead :

{exp:channel:entries
        orderby="poi_number"
        sort="asc" 
        channel="poi" 
        category="{segment_2_category_id}"
        dynamic="no"
        disable="member_data"}

{if no_results} No Results {/if}
  <li value="{poi_number}" data-geo-lat="{p_lat}" data-geo-long="{p_long}">
  <h4><span>{poi_number}</span> {title}</h4>
<p>   <div class="longdesc">{p_body}</div><br />
  </li></p>

<p>{/exp:channel:entries}

Basically I took out the brackets surrounding your custom number field {poi_number} as they shouldn’t be needed for this to work.

Hope that helps a bit.

Mahalo Mark, this worked… didn’t think to try this since most parameters need curlys…

‘A’ole pilikia glad that worked for you. As a matter of fact most standard ExpressionEngine parameters don’t use brackets. I think you are perhaps referring to variables maybe?

Thanks for the assist on this, Mark! mint, did this get you all squared away?
