Hello -

When ordering by a custom field (orderby=“manufacturer”), which contains a three-letter code, we get not different sorting, but a whole different set of results.

This is pull from a channel of about 200 entries.

Any idea what might be going on?

{exp:channel:entries channel="channel_name" category="{embed:category}" disable="pagination|member_data"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

or

{exp:channel:entries channel="channel_name" category="{embed:category}" disable="pagination|member_data" orderby="manufacturer" }
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Yields different results from:

{exp:channel:entries channel="channel_name" category="{embed:category}" disable="pagination|member_data" orderby="manufacturer" sort="asc"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Sort not defined or sort=“desc” yields the same results. sort=“asc” yields some entries that do not show up otherwise.

There’s no limit set, so I don’t believe it would be from simply grabbing the wrong end of the spectrum of entries? It does use playa to grab related entries.

Hi, dstchroom.

Unless you specify otherwise, limit is hard coded to 100. So I would expect to see differences between the two since you have over 100 entries. Try adding limit=“200” to see if that changes things.

Does that help?
