Secondary sort criteria in Ditto

Hello,

I’ve used ditto to sort a list of items by stock number. I would like the secondary sort criteria to be by product status [*productAvailability*]. I’m sure this is simple, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to do it. Here’s how my code looks:



Thanks for any help!

I do not think Ditto can do that. Maybe there is a newer version that can, but I have no idea.

Your best bet is to build a custom snippet with custom query.

If your ditto version is 2.1, you can try use &orderBy=`ASC productStock,productAvailability`, without using sortBy and sortDir

Hi labasus,

Where can I find documentation for 2.1? I only have it for 2.0.1

Thx

Thanks labasus. I tried it but unfortunately, it doesn’t work. It just gives me a modx parse error. Hmmm....

Documentation for Ditto 2.1 parameters is on the Ditto support site: http://ditto.modxcms.com/files/snippet-ditto-php.html

That page is not very forthcoming on &orderBy, but I’ve experimented with multiple sorts and it works with a list of comma-separated pairs of fields and directions: You always need to state the direction with &orderBy, unlike &sortBy which defaults to DESC if no sortDir is given.
