I have a channel field named {board_sort_order} and I limited the entry to Integer. I am trying to use that field to order the dynamic listing on the template. I have tried everything and search ALL of Google (almost, anyway) and cannot get the sort order to take effect.

Here is my template tag:

{exp:channel:entries channel="leaders" disable="pagination" search:is_board="Yes" orderby=(int){board_sort_order} sort="asc"}

I have tried it with and without the implicit PHP cast of (int).

Also if I leave out "sort="asc." I just get the records in the reverse order of how they were input.

ANY help is GREATLY appreciated.

It looks you have a syntax error in your tag. Try this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="leaders" disable="pagination" search:is_board="Yes" orderby="board_sort_order" sort="asc"}

  • Does the field show up properly for each entry on the front-end when put between the tag pair?
