4.0.2: txp:article sortby="category"
It would be quite useful to be able to sort articles (using txp:article and txp:article_custom) by their categories.
A “simple” txp:article sortby="cat1" and txp:article sortby="cat2", similar to sortby=“section”, would do the trick I think. More we be nice too, but I try to keep this feature request as simple as possible :)
With the exemple given on the Faq by Zem, it would allow webmaster to do quite nice things.

You already can. <txp:article sortby="Category1" sortdir="ASC" />. I’ll update the wiki.

I’ll need a new brain, one who is able to understand PHP, not just read it. Anyone seen that on ebay recently ?
Thanks Mary.
One small question before you close the thread (or if you want to move it to How to it’s even better): how to sort on a second level ? Aka, sortby category1, but inside one category how to sort by title (for example) ?

For that you’d need to drop sortdir (I don’t know why its there anyway, it doesn’t need to be), and do:
<txp:article sortby="Category1 ASC, Title ASC" />
That’s assuming that sortdir doesn’t get changed to be hard-coded in the future.

Even greater yup. Thanks.

Ok I found why sortdir is necessary: it’s for txp:article_custom
<txp:article_custom form="articleMultiplesParCat" limit="9999" section="article" sortby="Category1,Title" sortdir="asc" /> does work, but <txp:article_custom form="articleMultiplesParCat" limit="9999" section="article" sortby="Category1 ASC,Title ASC" /> doesn’t (nothing is output for that command).

Edit: Yeah, its certainly hackish, but it can work.

Well for me the one I quoted work (multiply sortby without asc, and sortdir…) with article_custom… the sortdir is applied to both the sortby, in the correct order. You can see it here (but in french).
