Hi
I am trying to order my search results by Title
but for some reason it is not working

please let me know if there is something wrong with the code, or I cant do this
with the built in EE 2.0 Search Module

here is the code that I am using right now:

<ul>
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo" orderby="title" sort="asc" dynamic="yes"}
 <li class="{switch}"><a href="http://{auto_path}">{title}</a></li>
{/exp:search:search_results}
</ul>

The advanced search form tag allows the user to select how they want to order the results. If you don’t want to give them the option to choose, you could pass the orderby and sort_order input values in hidden input fields.

thanks for responding

still not is working or not sure what I am doing wrong

this is what I came up with, i tried including the

<form></form>

within the code, but still nothing

</ul>
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
  <input type="hidden" name="orderby" id="orderby" value="title" />
  <input type="hidden" name="sort_order" id="sort_order" value="asc" /> 
  {exp:search_marker}<li class="{switch}"><a href="http://{auto_path}">{title}</a></li> {/exp:search_marker} 
{/exp:search:search_results}
</ul>

I also looked at the example: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/195803/ to reference from

Hi bdcads,

Those inputs need to go on your search form template, not your results page. The values need to be included as part of the form submission process.

{exp:search:simple_form channel="news"}
        <label for="keywords">Search:</label>

        <input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="" size="18" maxlength="100">
                <a href="http://{path=search/index}">Advanced Search</a>
        <input type="hidden" name="orderby" id="orderby" value="title" />
        <input type="hidden" name="sort_order" id="sort_order" value="asc" />
        <input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit">
{/exp:search:simple_form}

That should be similar to what you need.

Cheers,

Thanks Dan, that works!! 😊
