Sort order using a custom date field?
Im putting a “schedule” of events onto my TXP site. It’s gone well so far. Basically, any items i put in my “events” section are displayed on my events page as normal, but are also displayed on the schedule page. However, it only displays the event title (eg: Trinity vs Funkin Serious) and then the event date. Now this is not the date posted, but the date when the event takes place.
I always enter this into my “customfield_eventdate” field so it’s always a constant in that field.
Is there anyway i can get my “schedule page” to sort the events by the customfield event date? Preferably the soonest event at the top.
Any help would be great!! Cheers :)

Sure if “customfield_eventdate” is the first custom field, then add this to the article tag: sort="custom_1 ASC" or sort="custom_1 DESC"

Re: Sort order using a custom date field?
Ruud! Thanks for that, work’s like a charm!….
Now to test you, how can i highlight the first item in that list. Ideally, i want it to stand out, and marked up as “the next event is…” sort of thing?… But only the top item in the list?

axueer, download link for cbs_category_list
Qwest, you could try using <txp:if_different /> to highlight the first event:
<txp:if_different><span class="highlight"></txp:if_different>
<txp:title /> and other event info
<txp:if_different></span></txp:if_different>Offline
