Hi, I need to get products being listed in the order I find proper.
For that, I created a new (WYSIWIG) field that I use just as a number with dashes. I want to use this number to command Toolset what product to show first, what the second and so forth. I want to have full control of how the products are being listed and, truly, do not know how to make it in the context of Toolset.
Currently, I selected this field as the ordering option in the Views, set it to Ascending as a number.
In fact, I am not well aware of the difference between the use of string, field or number and the way PHP processes them.
Could you please help me out.
What I recommend that you do to have some form of controlled ordering is to use a single line field. The numbers your are entering are they like a serial number ? Is it necessary to have the "-" in the numbers?
Also depending on the data type you will need to select a string or number.
Thanks,
No, hyphenation is not the crucial thing to have. So if I just use integers with no hyphens or dashes in a single line field with either the string option or number option, will either option do?
