Order of select entries variable type is re-ordering in channel entries loop

adam.dorsey 10 Jun 2014 01:18 question, complete

I am using low variables and the select entries (pipe delimited) variable type to output a list of entries in a few places. In some cases the entries are re-ordering when I feed them into a channel entries tag pair.

If I output just the variable into a template, the entry id output is in the correct order.

There is no orderby or sort parameter on my channel entries loop and dynamic="no" is set.

The order is pretty important in this use-case.

Any ideas?

    Try using the fixed_order="" parameter, and make sure the var has Early Parsing enabled:

    {exp:channel:entries fixed_order="{my_var}"}

    That did it. Thanks! Completely missed that parameter.
