Sort by Customfield

Exposer can sort your articles by customfield value, but of course you have to create and fill them with information first. It doesn't matter if they are date fields, integer or text… btw: you should not try to sort by a customfield of type image, how useless that would be is self-evident...

Quickinfo Customfield creation

You can define custom fields in the Joomla! backend via Content --> Fields. It is important that you remember the name of the field. We will need this later in Exposer. In our planetarium demo list we have sorted the entries by the field distance to sun. The name of the field is distance:

And this is what the parameters for sorting in Exposer look like:

Please Note: The custom field that is used for sorting does not necessarily have to be used in the template.
