Re: order topitems by a dynamic data field

Hi Rodrigo,

The topitems template (e.g. mytheme/modules/articles/blocks/topitems- 
mypubtype.xt) receives an array $items containing the items.
You can resort the list before displaying it.
Here's a sort function you can drop into articles/xaruserapi or your  
own module
http://www.vaporbase.com/postings/Functions_for_grouping%2C_sorting% 
2C_and_filtering_items

and then do something like this before the <xar:foreach> in the  
template,
<xar:set name="items">xarModApiFunc('articles','user','sortitems',  
array('items'=>$myitems, 'field'=>'myfield'))</xar:set>
