• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Ordering the filter on a list view of a db join multiselect element

I found this thread: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?threads/multi-select-filter-values-a-to-z.50471/#post-263710 and this article in the wiki: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/database-join-element/#data-where both of which suggest I should be able to override the filter's default sorting to use the parent table--the one with words that can be sorted A-Z rather than the repeat table holding the multiselect info.

Two tables: intepreters and interpreter_lang. The 'Language' element in interpreters is a db join to the id column of the interpreter_lang table with the value being the id and the label the language name. The join is a multi select and so that is saved in the interpreters_repeat_Language table. I can't get the filter to sort alphabetically by interpreter_lang.language.

I've added: 1 = 1 ORDER BY `interpreter_lang`.`language` to the "filter where' field and I don't get any errors, HOWEVER, also the thing is not sorted by language. It's sorting by `interpreters_repeat_Language`.`Language` which is an id so basically it's a scrambled list of languages.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

Regards,
Kelly
