Playa sorting across entries

Question

I've got a playa field that pulls data from a few entries. I'd like to sort all the results alphabetically. However right now it returns each entry and then alphabetizes each. So I get something like: Apple Banana Cabbage Alfalfa Broccoli etc

My code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="somechannel" site="default_site"}
{exp:playa:children field="playafield" orderby="title" sort="asc" site="default_site"}
    <li>{title}</li>
  {/exp:playa:children}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Answer 1

Have you tried that outside of the channel entries tag?

{exp:playa:children field="playafield" orderby="title" sort="asc" site="default_site"}
<li>{title}</li>
{/exp:playa:children}

Try the above code alone in your template. Does that give you the output you need?
