My Listings not sortable for Make/Model

[Jakkie81]

Hi,

I'm unable to sort listings in the Make/Model Field in URL/my_listings/
Sorting only seems to work for URL/search_results/
This is for V4.7.1
Is this a bug, or just on my end?
Can anyone confirm if this is working in V5, or maybe supply a fix?

Thx

mylistings.tpl

Code:

{if $property.MakeModel.is_sortable}
<a href="?restore=1&amp;sorting_field=MakeModel&amp;sorting_order={if $sorting_order == 'ASC' && $sorting_field == 'MakeModel'}DESC{else}ASC{/if}">[[FormFieldCaptions!Make/Model]]</a>
{if $sorting_field == 'MakeModel'}{if $sorting_order == 'ASC'}<img src="{image}b_up_arrow.gif" alt="Up" />{else}<img src="{image}b_down_arrow.gif" alt="Down" />{/if}{/if}
{else}
[[FormFieldCaptions!Make/Model]]
{/if}

Hello Jakkie.
You can test it on our demo http://www.iautosoftware.com/demo/

Hey Arthur,

I did test it on http://www.iautosoftware.com/demo/ (v5.0) for user "DEMO".
Same result; Listings NOT sortable for the MakeModel field in "My Listings" ... 



As you can see; Photos, Year, Mileage, Price & Posted is sortable. Only the Make/Model field is not working.

In mylistings.tpl (v4.7.1)

Code:

{if $property.MakeModel.is_sortable}
<a href="?restore=1&amp;sorting_field=MakeModel&amp;sorting_order={if $sorting_order == 'ASC' && $sorting_field == 'MakeModel'}DESC{else}ASC{/if}">[[FormFieldCaptions!Make/Model]]</a>
{if $sorting_field == 'MakeModel'}{if $sorting_order == 'ASC'}<img src="{image}b_up_arrow.gif" alt="Up" />{else}<img src="{image}b_down_arrow.gif" alt="Down" />{/if}{/if}
{else}
[[FormFieldCaptions!Make/Model]]
{/if}

So why does {if $property.MakeModel.is_sortable} return FALSE ?
Even when removing the {if} statements the fields still wont sort as expected.

The function works perfectly in other search results:
In search_results.tpl (v4.7.1)

Code:

<a href="?restore=1&amp;sorting_field=MakeModel&amp;sorting_order={if $listing_search.sorting_order == 'ASC' && $listing_search.sorting_field == 'MakeModel'}DESC{else}ASC{/if}">[[FormFieldCaptions!Make/Model]]</a>
{if $listing_search.sorting_field == 'MakeModel'}{if $listing_search.sorting_order == 'ASC'}<img src="{image}b_up_arrow.gif" alt="Up" />{else}<img src="{image}b_down_arrow.gif" alt="Down" />{/if}{/if}

I believe that the Make/Model field is the most important sorting field for any user that lists multiple cars.
If a user wants edit his/her listings , they wont search for the listing by the number of photos or Mileage.

Hello Jakkie.

I have checked - and unfortunately it won't be possible to make it work.

Not possible? Its the 21st century after all...

But don't worry, I got it working eventually.
