Fatal error.jpg

Tell us what you are trying to do? I have successfully adapted the code from the link under 'documentation followed' to set up a sort in a view on two custom fields (Dating and Artist) and put this in a custom code snippet under Toolset Settings. See screenshot.

But I now want to use this for other views, like sort a similar view on Artist and Dating. When I try to add a second snippet with the adapted code I get a fatal error when I start up the site, see screenshot. Individually the two snippets work fine, but when I both activate them : Fatal error!)

Any suggestions on how I can get this type of sort to work for multiple views ?? Apologies, I am not a programmer (so Toolset is great for me) but in this instance, I need a functionality (sort on multiple custom fields for multiple views) that alas is not yet a standard option in Toolset. I have tried to add the code for the second view (between second set of {} ) in the first snippet but,,,no joy:(

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-apply-custom-code-to-order-view-by-multiple-custom-fields/#post-920846

Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link were I ordered on Dating and Artist

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

If you copy paste the code second time, you need to change the function name "tssupp_modify_orderby" to "tssupp_modify_orderby1" or any other name with function name and add_filter() hook.
