I have a view set up that's applied to events and lists the programme of workd by composers for concerts. I need to be able to move these around, add, or remove from the listings as there are often changes to the programme, nearing the date of the event.
In the backend of each event post we can see the listing. Beside each of these is a handle and I can move items up and down the list. In this instance I have moved Shostakovich to the top, but on the front end this change isn't updated, as shown in the second image.
In the Views interface I can set up the order and there are several options. I tried the Menu order option but this does nothing. Ichecked Random order and this does set a random order on page relaod. Is there a particular option I should be using, or is it a case of setting up a programme order field (number) to control this. The handled reordering on the back end suggests that it would logically be the way to control this. As it is when there is a programme change it means I have to remove many works and re add as per the new ordering.
I figured this out. One needs to select the option Field – toolset-post-sortorder and set it to number in the ordering section.
Hopefully this will be helpful to others facing the same support issue.
