Can’t sort on multiple fields if first field is a custom field

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I’m having trouble sorting an output. I can sort on multiple fields, but when I add a sort on a custom field (which I set as searchable/sortable), sorting will only be on the custom field.

This works:
[eme_people group_id=9 template_id=1 order="LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME"]

This only sorts on the custom field; the others are ignored:
[eme_people group_id=9 template_id=1 order="FIELD{Board position} DESC, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME"]

Thank you for your help.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t order on custom fields, as I don’t take that into account. Ordering currently only works for regular db fields in the “order” option.

Ah, so I see. The “sortable” option in custom fields has to do with the admin interface only. I’ll revert to what I had originally planned on doing doing. Meanwhile, maybe you can consider this a feature request.

Thank you.

This should now work, see this changeset:
