Button to sort models by date

[Desarrollo Web]

Good afternoon,

            we have seen that the models can be sorted by many variables when the page is loaded (date created and last updated among them). But we want the defailt sorting to be alphabetical so we've set that up perfectly.

However, we would like to have a button for users to be able to filter by latest added ....and we don't see that option.

How can we do this?

The default sorting for models can be configured in sort_by parameters of these blocks:

 

What is a "filter by latest added"?

Yep...I know... As I said we have the defualt sorting as we want (alphabetical).

But we want to add a sorting by date added in the soring buttons.

See attached where the arrows point to.

I see, I was confused by using "filtering" term rather than "sorting".

If you want to adjust list of model sortings you need to work with Website UI -> Texts with these text items:

models.sortings_videos = array(title, avg_videos_popularity, avg_videos_rating, total_videos)
models.sortings_albums = array(title, avg_albums_popularity, avg_albums_rating, total_albums)

Sorting ID for added date sorting would be added_date.

Then you will also need to add sorting text and list titles for models sorted by added date like this:

models.list_sorting.added_date = Added date
models.list_title_by_section_sorting.added_date = New '%1%'-Models 	
models.list_title_by_sorting.added_date = New Models 	

You can find similar texts for other model sortings, could be easier to add this in Website UI -> Language files instead.

Excellente solution, as always. It worked and now I understand the way it's done for the rest.

Thanks.
