ItemPublisher sorting not working correctly?

Hello,

I am working on a 8.4.1.12 solution on which I have multiple items and therefore multipleItemPublishers.

I have stumpled upon a very annoying issue. My Items are sorted in the backend (by dragging and dropping them in the right order) -> even though I've selected the sort method: Sort by Sort Value (as I reckon is the option to go with) it does not render the items in the correct order at all.

I have tried using LINQ as well, however I cannot get it to work - I can't find any documentation on how to query the list like:

foreach(var item i in GetLoop("ItemPublisher:Items.List").OrderBy("Sort Value", OrderByDirection.Ascending)...

can you guys give me any hints on how to accomplish this?

Regards,

MikkelTO

Hi Mikkel

It works perfect on my solution. Be aware of the bug 15010 - but it should have no significant impact.

If you have a structure like this and you publish all of them, of course they will be mixed since both Sub item 1 have sort 1.

Page

  1. Sub item 1
  2. Sub item 2
  3. Sub item 3

Page

  1. Sub item 1
  2. Sub item 2
  3. Sub item 3

Are you using page based or paragraph based items?

And do you have a link?

Hey Nicolai,

I am using paragraph based items.

Seems to work when sorting on e.g. name - alphabetical, however by sorting value it does not, unfortunately. I would love to have some LINQ workaround if possible.

Hi Mikkel

I see the issue. I tried to reproduce on my 8.5 and it works there. So I think the bug TFS#15010 fixes this issue. The issue is not fixable using a linq because the sort value is not in the item collection - that is the entire problem that was fixed. So an upgrade is required...

Regarding the update, what version would you recommend. Just the latest recommended version or the 8.5?..

Hi Mikkel

The newest 8.5.0.* - that would be 8.5.0.2 or 8.5.0.1.
