Code for sort ASC not working
Can someone more skilled than me please look at this and tell me what I've gotten wrong?
{{{<unit relativeTo="ca_entities_x_entities" delimiter="<br/>"><unit relativeTo="ca_entities" sort="ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text" sortDirection="ASC"><l>^ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text%toUpper : : ^ca_entities.preferred_labels.displayname</unit>}}}
I'm trying to use the metaelement ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text to sort a return of related names. The element displays, but the sort does not happen. I attach image to show the results of Related Names, which are obviouly not displaying in alphabetic order.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Mark,
It seems that you have a mix of two
<unit>. Also, I prefer useca_entities.relatedinstead ofca_entities_x_entities.Try this:
{{{<unit relativeTo="ca_entities.related" delimiter="<br/>" sort="ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text" sortDirection="ASC"><l>^ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text%toUpper : : ^ca_entities.preferred_labels.displayname</l></unit>}}}In my case, this works fine.😉
Many many thanks to you. It works! And I attach an image here to show the results. Now if I can just figure out how to show the sort term inside the hierarchical browser.
Hi,
Do you mean, in the Browse menu?
Could you copy/paste the content of your
pawtucket/themes/<your theme>/conf/browse.confhere?You should insert into the
entities = { ... }something like:sortBy = { Name = ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text }, # --- default sort direction for the sortBy options sortDirection = { Name = asc },If you want to show a Letter Bar in alphabetical order at the top, you should insert this inside
entities = { ... }:Here's the browse.conf code:

Hi, so try to replace the
entities = { ... }block by:entities = { displayName = _(People/Orgs), labelSingular = _("person"), labelPlural = _("people"), table = ca_entities, restrictToTypes = [], showLetterBarFrom = ca_entity_labels.surname, showLetterBarSorts = [ca_entity_labels.surname;ca_entity_labels.forename], # formats available for display of results # possible values are: images, list, timeline, map views = { images = {}, list = {} }, sortBy = { Name = ca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text;ca_entity_labels.forename }, sortDirection = { Name = asc }, # --- sortControlType = dropdown or list sortControlType = dropdown, # options = { # selectMediaUsingRelationshipTypes = [relationshipType], # selectMediaUsingTypes = [objectType] # } },I've just removed the lines:
and added
sortDirection = { Name = asc },Note that you must not add the "
^" beforeca_entities.preferred_sort_term.sort_term_text.
