Hello,

I have a query regarding Blog Item Order.



Is it possible to move the order of blog items?




I thought the blog items would publish by order of date. But no. I created an item but
with an older date, to no avail. I tried to play with the 'order' feature as
well, again to no avail.

Can you guide me please?I am having K2 v2.1 with Joomla 1.5.15.Regards,Tarun

I'm not an expert or anything like that but maybe you can change the order under category parameters from default to date created

Hi,

Thank you your quick response, but i didn't find location for "category parameter". where it is displaying?

Could you let me know steps for this.

Hey,

If you click on Category and choose the category that your items are in you can see on the right "Category Item Layout". From there go down a little bit and you will see a drop down box called "item ordering" which should be set to default. Change this option to what you need and hopefully that will solve your problem.

Dear Paul,

I have already done this change but didn't get any success. Any other solution do you have?

I think something wrong with back-end coding.

Tarun

Hi Tarun,

[TOPIC STILL OPEN FOR SOLUTION] It could be a problem with some kind of coding, unfortunately I know almost nothing on that part :(
I just tried messing around with the order on a test site I'm using and it seemed to what it's meant to do. The only
other thing I can think of as a temporary solution is to manually set the order numbers of each item. Sorry I could be more help

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your all discussion, but the problem is that i already set the order number manually, but you know after save the order it's order number are changing but position still having same. So that i can't see any ordering change in front-end and as well as in back-end.

I don't know what problem is coming to this topic and it is important for me to change item ordering. Any other suggestion will help for me.

I see your point under immegration category. I just played around with some settings under my site and seemed to work ok. I set "Item ordering" to "Most recent first" under the category (in this case would be immegration). And instead of trying to get the ordering to work, I changed the "Creating date" for the items/articles. This way I could get any order I wanted.

Hope this helps,
Paul
