Now for the $10,000 question... If you are using a max of 100 returns and paging through the returns, is there a way of carrying the sort(s) through to the next page. John Muldoon Corporate Incentives 3416 Nicollet Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55408-4552 612.822.2222 [email protected]

You will have to add a replace tag before assigning the new sort. Ex( sort version): if existing sort order is "1,2,3,4" and the new sort to be added is "3" to make the sort "3,1,2,4" you have to remove the existing "3" first. Ted -----Original Message----- From: WebDude [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Multiple Sorts Okay, I got the vsortorder to load... Pretty slick. First off, I cannot use @@request$vsortorder... It just isn't being recognized. I think I have an older version of Witango that doesn't let me use that scope. When I change it to <@VAR vsortorder> it works fine. Now that being said... I get to around 5 clicks (in which the sorts all work exactly as planned) and then Witango crashes. I am muxing the result array somehow. I am not sure how to post the sort arguments... Do I need to do a search for every post of the sort? Here is what I have so far. By the way...

That's the way I do it. But it seems that you cannot have a blank variable or multiple sorts within 1 variable... Or am I missing something here. Do you have an example? -----Original Message----- From: Ted Wolfley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 10:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Multiple Sorts I found it better and faster to do the sort after the results are returned in the Results Action. Use a user variable and keep appending to the beginning, then use the variable in the sort tag. Remember to have a way to clear the sort and the variable Ted -----Original Message----- From: WebDude [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Mon 3/1/2010 7:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Witango-Talk: Multiple Sorts Typically in the past, I load a sort into a variable and then add that variable as a sort in the search function... I then use an argument to change the sorts... <@IFEQUAL <@ARG sort> "1"><@ASSIGN sort "company_info.company">/@IF <@IFEQUAL <@ARG sort> "2"><@ASSIGN sort "company_info.lname">/@IF <@IFEQUAL <@ARG sort> "3"><@ASSIGN sort "company_info.state">/@IF <@IFEQUAL <@ARG sort> "4"><@ASSIGN sort "company_info.customer_id">/@IF I've been going around and around on this... is there anyway to hold onto the sorts so, let's say, they click on Company first, and then click on last name, they get a sort by lname, company. An thus, if they click next on State, they get a sort of state, lname, company... and so on. I'm sure this has comeup before... I just can't find the answer.
