Blog Items - Order was created by Tarun
Hello,

I have a query regarding Blog Item Order.



Is it possible to move the order of blog items?




I thought the blog items would publish by order of date. But no. I created an item but
with an older date, to no avail. I tried to play with the 'order' feature as
well, again to no avail.

Can you guide me please?I am having K2 v2.1 with Joomla 1.5.15.Regards,Tarun

I'm not an expert or anything like that but maybe you can change the order under category parameters from default to date created

Hey,

If you click on Category and choose the category that your items are in you can see on the right "Category Item Layout". From there go down a little bit and you will see a drop down box called "item ordering" which should be set to default. Change this option to what you need and hopefully that will solve your problem.

Dear Paul,

I have already done this change but didn't get any success. Any other solution do you have?

I think something wrong with back-end coding.

Regards,

Tarun

Hi Tarun,

[TOPIC STILL OPEN FOR SOLUTION] It could be a problem with some kind of coding, unfortunately I know almost nothing on that part :(
I just tried messing around with the order on a test site I'm using and it seemed to what it's meant to do. The only
other thing I can think of as a temporary solution is to manually set the order numbers of each item. Sorry I could be more help

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your all discussion, but the problem is that i already set the order number manually, but you know after save the order it's order number are changing but position still having same. So that i can't see any ordering change in front-end and as well as in back-end.

I don't know what problem is coming to this topic and it is important for me to change item ordering. Any other suggestion will help for me.

Regards,

Tarun

I see your point under immegration category. I just played around with some settings under my site and seemed to work ok. I set "Item ordering" to "Most recent first" under the category (in this case would be immegration). And instead of trying to get the ordering to work, I changed the "Creating date" for the items/articles. This way I could get any order I wanted.

Hope this helps,
Paul

So you mean i should choose item ordering "Most recent first" under the category parameter. But and make a new item and changed creation date. But this could be for new article if i wanna to change ordering for old items then how could this work?

Suppose in the immigration site i want to move this item "Immigration Fees: Credit Card Risks" to under this item "Brits Dream of Exile". Then will it work?

Yup, change to "Most recent first" under category parameter. And then go into the item called "Immigration Fees: Credit Card Risks" and manually change the "creation date" to be abit older than "Brits Dream of Exile" eg. 10 May 2010 20:20.

Paul,

I made a new item with the creation date of 5th may 2010, but you know it is still showing at the top of the items.

I mean i can still see my test item first, then another items. And i have changed Most Recent First from the category parameter, Nothing is happening.

Running K2 2.3 on Rochen (so you know everything works) and I'm having this order problem as well. I have a restaurant menu category and two sub-categories, meats and side dishes. Now I've set both the parent category (restaurant menu) to show in order and I've also set each category to show in order, and I've arranged meats to be sub-cat 1 and side dishes to be sub-cat 2. Problem is that I can't even tell what order the items are appearing in because it appears random. They don't appear in the order set in the category setting or sub-cat setting, and they don't appear as ordered in the items backend menu. Basically, the meats are supposed to appear in order before the side dishes. Impossible! I'm lost! www.88kbbq.com

actually it a serious BUG and some of the developers should take a look, It cannot be solved with a simple work around.

an award winner extension cannot afford such a bug, I think and we all would be grateful if you could fix it...

Thanx
