Order entries per category

Andrew Taucher 26 Sep 2013 18:46 question, complete

I'm using "show entries per single category" filtering.
I have 15 categories with products assigned to multiple categories.
It seems I can only output one category at a time:

{exp:low_reorder:entries set="usb" force_set_params ="yes" category="29"}

The above works but only for that category. I want all categories to be displayed. Separating by pipes doesn't work.

To see what I'm trying to do http://diskcopyllc.com/dev/index.php/...
I'm using jquery isotope to sort by category. I need the ability to order the products for each category.

    The low_reorder:entries tag will always return just one set. In the case of "show entries per single category", a single set is defined by set name/id and category, therefore the category="" parameter will only accept a single ID at the moment.

    This is mainly because entries can belong to different sets, yet can only be output once in an entries tag; EE's API doesn't allow multiple instances of a single entry in one "stream" of entries.

    Okay that makes sense. Essentially I could create a new page for each category I want to ouput and that would do the trick. The only problem was using the current filtering I have set up on the front-end. I'll stick w/ the way it is now.

    Thanks for the reply and great plug in!
