Sorting by 'odd' or 'even'

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

Problem:

Display different result in view's loop on odd/even condition.

Solution:

If you are using classic editor to create/edit the post view, you can setup the codes within view's loop like this:

I found this argument in your support docs:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-items-count]' eq 'odd' )"]
<div class="odd-man-out">
<img src="[wpv-bloginfo show='stylesheet_directory']/images/logo-inverse.svg" alt="[wpv-bloginfo]" />
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

Why am I unable to modify that to sort by 'post-id', like this?

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-id]' eq 'odd' )"][wpv-post-id][/wpv-conditional]

Hello,

Where did you find that support document?
The shortcode [wpv-items-count] can only output the number values of posts, users or taxonomies that will be displayed on the page, it can not output "odd" value, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-items-count

If you are using classic editor to create/edit the post view, you can setup the codes within view's loop like this:

...
    <!-- wpv-loop-start -->
        <wpv-loop wrap="2" pad="true">
            [wpv-item index=1]
This is odd item
            [wpv-item index=other]
This is even item
        </wpv-loop>
    <!-- wpv-loop-end -->
...
