How do I sort $ values in a custom field

Hello everyone,

I’d like to display articles in an article list where the dollar value of the items that I am selling go from the highest price to the lowest. I found out the plugin ort_article_psort but it is no longer available. Is there something else that I can do?

Here is my code:

<txp:article_custom allowoverride="1" excerpted="1" form="list" limit="999" pgonly="0" section="inventory" sort="custom_14 desc" status="4" />

Please help

P.S.: Custom_14 is the custom Field that contains the $ value of the item that I wish to sort

In case your problem is sorting values corrctly without adding leading zeros, try sort="(custom_14+0) desc"

This needs to be documented ‘somewhere’ as sort is a common attribute all over the TXP place :)

Apostrophes. *g*

I put it on the article pages under sort options.
