How can I may sort and group items by one of extra field? Now such possibility is not present.
Thanks :)

I think Sergey wants what I want!

I have Category A, Item 1, 2 and 3, as well as Category 2, Item 4, 5 and 6.

Items 2 and 5 have an Extra Field of X (whether that be a drop down or radio button, it must be either X or Y).

I want to be able to bring up a list of everything in X (currently Item 2 and Item 5) and order them according to X.

I also want to be able to create a Menu Item to display everything in Extra Field X.

Can anyone do this for us?

+1 for this. It would be great to be able to display a table of results, using extra fields as columns, which are then sortable.

Hello there,
the subject "community.getk2.org/forum/topics/k2-extra-fields-filter-and?id=3536014%3ATopic%3A28068&page=8#comments" seems to have a similar meaning.
A searchable extra fields option would be really great! Who can do this for me, too?

seriously? You put in all these fields and you can't use them to make pages sorted by the fields?
What is the point?
What good is K2 you can't USE the dang data???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

K2 sorts by several things just like Joomla....it uses most recent, alph by title, oldest first, etc etc when you pick sort orders. Extra fields are for adding all sorts of additonal info like Address, City, State, and when the title is say Last, First and you sort it by title alph you may get a pretty good listing. Things are also sorta sorted..by categories and subcategories and have an order under each - but you are correct, exta fields are not used in the sort as far as i have seen

Thanks for the confirmation that I have just wasted a day or two.
Now, if I could only find the plug-in to do what I want!

This is incredible. I'm beginning to think I've wasted all my time on K2 if this is the best it's got. So if I have hundreds of users create their own registrations in front end, and they enter all their own data, but I can't sort them by any of these fields??? I can't believe it.

If anyone can find a better solution than the one I've settled for, please post it here. What I settled for was to use RSForm! The free version cannot sort by fields, though for €20 the Pro version will filter by field. Anyway, the free version can export to MS Excel where it can be sorted by field. So far that's the best I've got. To admit defeat and merely export to my local machine where I can organize to my heart's content. Anyone got better? Please???

Ian,

 

The best alternative I've used to do this is javascript such as phatfusion.net/projects.html (sorttable).

There are several alternatives for sorting items that you can see at www.noupe.com/css/21-fresh-ajax-css-tables.html
