xPDOQuery::sortby
Add an ORDER BY clause to the query.
Syntax
API Docs: http://api.modx.com/revolution/2.2/db_core_xpdo_om_xpdoquery.class.html#\xPDOQuery::sortby()
xPDOQuery sortby (string $column, [string $direction = 'ASC'])
Example
Get all the Box objects sorted by name.
$query = $xpdo->newQuery('Box'); $query->sortby('name','ASC'); $boxes = $xpdo->getCollection('Box',$query);
You can sort by a random order by referencing 'RAND()':
$query = $xpdo->newQuery('Box'); $query->sortby('RAND()'); $boxes = $xpdo->getCollection('Box',$query);
Likewise, you can pass any valid database function to the sortby method, e.g. 'FIELD()' to dictate a specific order for your results:
$query = $xpdo->newQuery('modResource'); $query->sortby('FIELD(modResource.id, 4,7,2,5,1 )'); $boxes = $xpdo->getCollection('modResource',$query);
