I guess I have one more question before this problem is nailed. I enter the Ditto call as:
[!Ditto? &parents=`[*list*]` &orderBy=`parent ASC,menuindex ASC` &depth=`1` &tpl=`slide` &display=`all` &debug=`1` !]
I enter "167,145" into the list TV and the Ditto call sorts it to the 145 document children and then the 167 document children since I orderBy "parent ASC". If I don’t specify a sort order, it all comes out randomly. Is there a way to make the content out in the order I specify in the TV? In other words, if I enter "167,145" in the list TV, is there a way to make it come out as the children of 167 and then the children of 145?
