To clearify what Pixie say here above, we need som suggestion of how o make Flexi sort articles in category view based on returned result from a plugin triggerd from a Flexifield. I think this is important for any plugin triggerd by any sortable text field or maybe made as an option in the settings for the field.
Is it at all possible?
If not - any suggestions of how to solve our sorting problem?

Maybe I explain the current function in detail:
We have created a textfield which calls a plugin.
The plugin check if the a user of a telephone support service is on-line or not. Depending of state the plugin return an on-line or off-line image. We want to sort the on-line users first.

yes the files differ in:

rows 183 - 202 from .558

Code:

JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');
		// just a try : to implement later
		foreach ($items as $item) {
			$item->event = new stdClass();
			$item->params = new JParameter($item->attribs);
			$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContent', array (& $item, & $item->params,0));
			$item->event->afterDisplayTitle = trim(implode("\n", $results));

			$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onAfterDisplayTitle', array (& $item, & $item->params,0));

and rows 183 - 202 from .607

Code:

JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content');

		// Allow to trigger content plugins on category description
		$category->text			= $category->description;
		$results 				= $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContent', array (& $category, & $category->params, 0));
		$category->description 	= $category->text;

		foreach ($items as $item) 
		{
			$item->event 	= new stdClass();
			$item->params 	= new JParameter($item->attribs);
			
			$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContent', array (& $item, & $item->params, 0));

			$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onAfterDisplayTitle', array (& $item, & $item->params, 0));
