I am working on a website for a medical lab and I have a list of tests that are organized by categories. I’m using the GW Category add on to generate a navigation based on the category structure. My problem is that I cannot seem to sort my list of tests alphabetically by the titles. I’m using the parameter orderby=“title and sort=“asc”. This seems to work on other pages that do not have categories. Any suggestions?

{exp:gwcode_categories cat_url_title="{segment_4}" entry_count="yes"}
       <a href="http://{path=test_menu/testmenu_category/category}/{cat_url_title}">{cat_name}</a> ({entry_count})

{/exp:gwcode_categories}
    
{exp:channel:entries channel="test_menu" paginate="bottom" limit="10" orderby=”title” sort="asc"}
 {if no_results}There are currently no tests in this category.{/if}
 <h4><a href="http://{page_url}">{title}</a></h4>
<p>     {paginate}<br />
      Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}<br />
     {/paginate}<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

{exp:channel:entries channel="test_menu" paginate="bottom" limit="10" orderby=”title” sort="asc"}

The quotes around title do look fishy…

Hi janitor,

Since this is working on the templates where you aren’t using the plugin, the plugin may have something to do with this. If you take the plugin out of the template, are entries ordered properly?

It may be the forums here messing with things, but also make sure your quote marks around “title” in your orderby= parameter are straight rather than curly.

What version of ExpressionEngine are you using? Have you checked for any updates to GW Category?

Cheers,

Have you tried something like: orderby=“title|date”?

I’d agree, those quotation marks look like they’ve inherited a different character encoding. Probably from a copy/paste or something. Better just to make sure.

It was the quotes around “title”! Can’t believe I missed that. Thanks so much for your replies.

Hello jmulkey,

You are not the first by any means to have pasted in code and gotten some messed up encoding. It happens to the best of us.

I am glad things are working for you now.

Cheers,
