A front-end control for sorting SilverStripe lists easily. The aim of this module is to make sorting lists as simple as it is to use PaginatedList.
- SilverStripe 3+
There are a few ways you can define sort options within an array.
Make a public function on your controller:
function getSorter(){
$sorts = array(
'Title', //DB field name only
'Popularity' => 'Popularity DESC', //map title to sort sql
'Price' => array("BasePrice" => "ASC"), //map title to data list sort
new ListSorter_Option("Age", "Created DESC", //object
new ListSorter_Option("Age", array("Created" => "ASC")) //reverse
)
);
return new ListSorter($this->request,$sorts);
}Call that function when updating your list:
public function getSortableChildren() {
$list = $this->Children();
$list = $this->getSorter()->sortList($list);
return $list;
}Use my template or roll your own.
<% include Sorter %>
<ul>
<% loop SortableChildren %>
<li>$Title</li>
<% end_loop %>
</ul>
