Sorting reorder sets by category?

sam.allen 7 Aug 2012 17:09 question, complete

I'm using Low Reorder to create custom order lists of entries by category. But from what I can glean from the docs, there's no way to print out each set by it's defining category using the reorder:entries template tags, as I have to define the set by it's id.

Is that correct? Ideally, I would like to be able to drop an embed template with the Reorder set in an exp:channel:categories tag so the sets come out in the order of their defining categories.

I'm guessing I could create a custom_category field where I assign the set which matches the category, and then pass that to the reorder entries tag, but I wanted to check and see if there was something I was missing first.

    If you set the Category filter of a single Set to 'Show entries per single category', you can pass a single Set ID and category ID to get the correct order. No need to create different sets.

    Ahhhh, so I can go from category to category and set the sort order for each. That was not immediately clear to me. Thanks for your VERY quick reply!
