Hi Peter

In an OrderTemplateExtender:

http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Orders.OrderTemplateExtender.html

You have access to the orders object. On the order object you have an Orderlines Collection which can be sorted:

http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Orders.OrderCollection~Sort().html

Before calling sort, set the sortfield and sortorder:

http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Orders.OrderCollection~SortByField.html

http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Orders.OrderCollection~SortOrder.html

Only way...

When using sortbyfield is it always Ascending.?

Yes ASC is default, but can be overridden.

But what I provided you is wrong, because that is on the order collection and not the orderline collection...

So, you would have to create a custom collection of orderlines, move them from order.orderlines, sort them, clear the order.orderlines Collection and then add them in the right order.

Difficult and Things could go wrong...

Oki, I will recommend the client some smaller jquery solution and then order mail and print will be default.

Hi Peter,

It is fairly easy to rearrange the orderlines - I hope that you can use this example:

public class SortProductsExtender : OrderTemplateExtender
    {
        public override void ExtendTemplate(Template template)
        {
            if (RenderingState == TemplateExtenderRenderingState.Before)
            {
                // Load orderlines into temporary list
                List<OrderLine> tempList = new List<OrderLine>();
                foreach (OrderLine orderLine in Order.OrderLines)
                {
                    tempList.Add(orderLine);
                }

                // Reorder the orderlines
                tempList = tempList.OrderByDescending(ol => ol.ProductNumber).ToList();

                // Remove current orderlines
                Order.OrderLines.Clear();

                // Add the reordered lines to the orderlines of the order
                foreach (OrderLine item in tempList)
                {
                    Order.OrderLines.Add(item);
                }
            }
        }
    }

Best regards, Anders

Just remember to test this if you have discounts or parts list involved. They would be suborder lines and could be messed up by sorting.

Nicolai

ok, will test it with all possible aspects. Thanks for help, code and comments.
