The revamped relationships in EE 2.6+ are awesome. The custom code and databases we have had to make to act as workarounds can now mostly be done with multiple relationships, with one big exception that I can’t figure out.
I am using EE to generate a playlist of video files (in a “playlist” channel) and need to allow people to be able to select the files (which are other EE entries in a “vod” channel) and sort what order they are in. According to the documentation, you can order by dates so a possible workaround could be to change the vod entry’s date. However, in some cases there are multiple playlists with a particular vod entry so this workaround wouldn’t work in my circumstances.
I haven’t been able to find any documentation or forum responses of people able to set the order of the way relationships render out. In the exp_relationships table (in 2.6+) I see that there is an “order” field that I assume allows you to set the way the parent_id entry renders out children, but there is no way to set that with exp:channel:forms. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
