Ditto display content Order.

Hello.

i have a call:

[[Ditto? &documents=`235, 246, 252, 118, 74` &depth=`2` &display=`all` &total=`all` &showInMenuOnly=`1` &orderBy=`isfolder DESC` &tpl=`nl_sidebar`]]

and is displaying a link list but the order is not the one that i write, is displaying the links in this id order:

118, 235, 246, 74, 252

I know that is the &orderBy=`isfolder DESC` but i dont know what is the right call to do that.

some ideas?

thank you very much!!!

Hi,
I think it’s a language barrier here.... I’m quite sure you don’t want "isfolder", you would use that to filter out (remove) certain documents based on whether they were folders or not. That won’t help with the order of the documents.

This way will give you the most control:



Then you set "Menu Index" on each document to make any order you want. If you have Doc Manager, (Modules, Doc Manager) that can go even faster. I believe the default Ditto order is by "publishedon ASC", although I may be mistaken.

Hope that helps,
Ciao, Dave

To display documents in the order you list them, this thread shows how to create a custom sorting extender: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,47947.0.html
