next_entry tag doesn't work
I am trying to create a "next entry" link that will obey the order I have set up in my Low Reorder custom field. Here is my entire channel tag:
http://pastie.org/1553803
There is no output at all from the Low next_entry tag (and yes I made sure I am not on the last entry!). You can see I have a native EE type next_entry tag at the end, outside the channel tag, and that one does work but it does not have the correct order.
This is my front-end:

What am I doing wrong?

Hey Rory,
Please take a closer look at the docs. You're missing several parameters, including the required field="" in the exp:low_reorder:next_entry tag.
Also, you're nesting the next_entry tag inside a Matrix field. I would advise against that -- the Low Reorder prev/next tags will work with entries only, not Matrix rows.

Thanks, Low. I got it working now. I had to take the low next entry tag out of the channel tag too, which I didn't realize. that was keeping the link from being the right one. All set!

Cool, glad you got it working.
For the record, you don't *have* to move the prev/next tags out of the channel:entries tag. Just be sure not to place them inside a Matrix var pair. The docs show examples of both the nested and the non-nested version.
