Hi!
I have a exp:weblog:entries tag where I hardcode the articles to show like entry_id=“6|3|27|9”. I want to show the articles in exactly this order. What option do I need for the orderby parameter to get that?
I tried to leave it out, to make orderby=”” or to make an illegal string like orderby=“blabla”, but in all cases, the list was ordered by date. Or maybe by ID, which would be the same here 😊 But I saw no way to *not* use any sort order?!
Bye . . . JoergW

Yes, you have to order by something. In your case I’d suggest edit_date or a custom field.

Or you could take a look at the Selected Items Module which allows you to create groups of entries and order them as you like in a more or less point-and-click fashion.
The Selected Items module/extension allows you to create ordered lists of weblog entries.
Each selection can be arbitrarily ordered or ranked, and entries can exist in more than one selection (in different orders).
