Hi All,
I would tried to implement sorting in velocity with help of three exp which I defined as below:
1 )
#foreach ($obj in $sortTool.sort($objects, "fieldnametosorton")
Display data from the sorted list here like $obj.fieldname
#end
2) since we were sorting on a child field we had to first build an array of maps and then sort on that since the sort method can't seem to access the child field:
#set ($array = [])
#foreach ($obj in $objects)
#set ($void = $array.add( { "field1" : $obj.getData(), "childfield" : $obj.childfield.getData() } ) )
#end
#foreach ($obj in $sortTool.sort($array, "childfield")
<p>This is a line sorted on $obj.childfield</p>
#end
3)
OtherWay
#set ($menuItems= [])
#set ($tmp = $menuItems.add({"title" : "item1", "url" : "http://www.google.com"}))
#set ($tmp = $menuItems.add({"title" : "item3", "url" : "http://www.google.com"}))
#set ($tmp = $menuItems.add({"title" : "item2", "url" : "http://www.google.com"}))
#set ($tmp = $menuItems.add({"title" : "item4", "url" : "http://www.google.com"}))
#foreach ($item in $sortTool.sort($menuItems, 'title:asc'))
<a href="$item.url">$item.title</a><br>
#end
#foreach ($item in $sortTool.sort($menuItems, 'title:desc'))
<a href="$item.url">$item.title</a><br>
#end
but I'm not able get an proper idea how to implement sorting in velocity from these above example. so
Plz provide any suggestion or share any thought here,
Thanks & Regards,
