Related Products - Sort By / Custom Fields

[Mish]

Can sorting by a custom field within Related Products be done, if so, how?

I was checking the forum posts but could not find an answer. I did see Brennan had posted the below here.

There is nothing built in to sort by a custom field, but you can do it with some template code.

You'll first need to add the custom field the products array so you can later sort on it. This code should go above your category product list loop.

  
<mvt:foreach iterator="product" array="category_listing:products">

         <mvt:assign name="g.brand" value="''" />
         <mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Product_Code( l.settings:product:code, 'brand', g.brand )" />
                  <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.brand">        
                           <mvt:assign name="l.settings:product:brand" value="g.brand" />    
                  </mvt:if>  

</mvt:foreach>  

<mvt:if expr="g.Sort_By EQ 'Brand'">    
         <mvt:do file="g.module_library_utilities" name="l.null" value="QuickSortArray(l.settings:products, '', 1)" />
</mvt:if>

Thanks in advance.

Related products are just a product listings, you just need change the array of the code above (oh, I think the ' ' in the QuickSortArray() function should be g.brand.

I want to know it, too. Did you get it?
