[Resolved] Display child post field in a parent view

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Display a child post filed in a parent view inside a table, where the parent view render using data from both parent and child custom posts

The issue i have is that the table i create need to display content from parent and child posts
do i need to insert view inside a view? i.e. in the table cell insert a view of a child to display one field?

Solution:

You are right, it needs a nested view, you need to create a child view, and put the child view into one table cell of the parent view, but I suggest you use only one table cell to display the child view, and the table sort feature won't be able to work in this cell.
