Hi

I am trying to display a list of entries sorted ASC or DESC using the

exp:channel:entries

dynamic_parameters="sort"

attribute. On the first page of results the sort works fine but when I move through the pagination pages the list returns the default sort order. Is there a native way to maintain persistence of the dynamic_parameters through pagination?

Thanks

Hello neilkb,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Can I see your entire channel entries tag?

Do you have dynamic=“no” in there?

Thank you,

This is the full entries tag code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="events" status="Publication" category="{embed:categoryID}" orderby="date" dynamic="yes" dynamic_parameters="sort" limit="10" paginate="bottom"}

Setting the ‘dynamic’ parameter to ‘yes’ or ‘no’ makes no difference.

The code above is in an embed called from this code:

{exp:query sql="SELECT cat_id FROM exp_categories WHERE cat_url_title = '{segment_3}'" disable="category_fields|member_data"}
   {embed="/FEincludes/.ITW-publistcontent" categoryID="{cat_id}"}   
{/exp:query}

Thanks

Hi, neilkb,

As you can see in the documentation on dynamic_parameters:

Note: If you have pagination links on your page they will not retain the page layout options created dynamically using this feature.

So you won’t be able to retain that dynamic sorting while using pagination - not while using dynamic parameters.

OK, thanks for confirming that Lisa, I guess we’ll have to come up with another solution

No worries, neilkb - sorry that it wasn’t better news.

If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread.

Thank you.
