We have created a table that displays the number of "likes" that our content has. The "Like" field is a custom field created with Toolset and it's a single line field type. It has to be a single line and cannot be changed to a number field.
Is it possible to sort our table numerically even though this is a single line field?
You can see the table here: hidden link
And with the link I gave, you should see that the table is sorted by the 2nd column but it isn't in order. I've also attached a screenshot that shows how it is display for me.
Thanks,
Marcus
Hi Marcus
When I check the curricula posts I see that they don't have a value stored for the Likes field, they have a custom shortcode (see screenshot).
Because the value stored in the database for the field is "[rating]" then when the table is sorted by that column, which happens with a new database query which specifies that field for the sort order, it fails because, well, there are no numbers to sort by.
What you are trying here cannot work.
