Can low_reorder be used in conjunction with Expresso Store search?

Dorothy Molloy 3 Nov 2015 12:13 question, complete

I am using low_reorder to show products by category (using the "Filter entries by category" option. It works fine.

My client would now like to be able to show the products in price order which can be done by using Expresso Store search.

Expresso Store says this about using its search tag:

"Because the search tag is simply a wrapper for the channel entries tag, you should use it instead of a regular channel entries tag, rather than in conjunction with. Nesting a channel entries tag inside a store search tag, or vice versa, will lead to unexpected results."

Expresso Store keeps its data in its own field type which is not in a channel entry but its own database table

Is there any way to filter by low_reorder category and order by price?
Thanks,
Dorothy

    You could define the category in the Store search tag, I suppose.

    Otherwise, the only option I can think of is to use Low Reorder's Entry IDs tag and use that to populate the Store search tag's entry_id parameter, possibly using an embed to avoid parse order issues.
