Maybe we dont know what the heck we are doing but we have had the hardest time sorting. Here is the common problem. If we make a list like this
1 - January
2 - February
3 - March
4 - April
5 - May
6 - June
7 - July
8 - August
9 - September
10 - October
11 - November
12 - December
and sort it. it will do it like this:
1 - January
10 - October
11 - November
12 - December
2 - February
3 - March
4 - April
5 - May
6 - June
7 - July
8 - August
9 - September
This has been a common problem for us. One example is when we make a list on the side like a sidebar and we want to move certain stuff around on the list so we make a field and type 1,2,3,4 etc but what happens when we got to ten is this 1,10,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, This is no good. So next we tried this: 1.,1.1,1.2,1.3,2,2.1,2.2 etc. again not a good solution. The only sorting we have seen in ee is the ability to sort templates by alphabetical. We cant even sort custom fields. We have one weblog with 20 custom fields. If we want to rearrange them we have to retype in all the number for all 20 fields again. Over all We have had a lot of trouble trying to get sorting to work in our favor. Right now we need to display a list of seminar dates but we do not want to use the date box in the custom field because we might need to do date ranges: 2-5/4/2008.
Is there something we are missing?
