Sorting using Power Search

[vakil]

Hi,

I'm using INDEXU as an Audio Library.

I've made a custom field called "Language" and would like the users to be able to list the records according to Language.

Now I know currently INDEXU doesn't have a feature for sorting records but using Power Search a user can list records by typing in the key word in the approprate filed.

Is it possible somehow to create a link such as

http://www.yourwebsite.com/power_sea...keyword=french

so that when a person clicks on this link it shows all the records which are for the language french.

If I sound confusing anywhere, please ask for clarifications.

Hi,

You can sort any of the searches.

For power_search.php, on line 133, change

$query .= " order by bid desc";

to

$query .= " order by bid desc, title asc";

or whatever you want such as

$query .=" order by bid desc, language asc, title asc";

where bid, language, title, etc. are the field names in the mysql database.

In the regular search, look for lines that start with

$query = "select ...

and you can add order by parameters. This is helpful in sorting the results of all the database queries the way you want.
