Changing my expression to IN did the trick! Super thanks!

You're welcome

Follow up, do you if its is possible to add multiple products  at the same time to PDF Catalog using CatalogPublishingcmd=addtocatalog ?

So once I have my list result, I can just click a button that says, "add all to catalog" or something?

Hi Bjørn,

I haven't tried it. Maybe somebody else has. I know you can add multiple items to your cart though. You can try to use the same logic.

You can check the documentation here https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/ecommerce/orders/shopping-cart#2948

Hey. once again a follow up...

When searching for a string of product numbers, like the one below:

2025081,2025080,2024402,2024404,2024691,2024680,2024661,2024320,2024290,2024280

I want the result to be in the exact same order as the search? I was looking to the sort options in the catalog app, (I use an index for the products). But there is not an option for "search".
Any clue as to how I can achieve this?

Hi Bjørn,

That's some custom sorting that I don't think you can achieve with the index. If you are able to get the results in a single page, you can use Razor or Javascript to do it though.

Best Regards,

Nuno

Lucene does not support that.

If you never provide an array larger than the collection of products you get out (just one page) you can sort the resulting collection after it has been queried.

My fears confirmed... 😭

How would you sort it with Razor ?

foreach(var result in GetLoop("Products")) ?? using Linq or something like that?

You can't either do it with LINQ and/or assign the GetLoop to a var and then sort the List<T> using various techniques. It's standard C# from then on.

I just don't really see what parameter or whatnot to use to sort the list?

Hi Bjørn

I do not know of an easy way to sort a list based on an array of other values - so you either have to make your own IComparer for the list or dictionary.

Or do something like this - pseudo code :-):

var productIds = {2025081,2025080,2024402,2024404,2024691,2024680,2024661,2024320,2024290,2024280}
var sortedProducts = new List<product>();
var unSortedProducts = GetLoop("Products").ToDictionary(product => product.ProductID);

for each productid in productIds {
   sortedProducts.add(productid, unSortedProducts.Item[productid]);
}

for each product in sortedProducts.Values(){
   //write it out....
}
