Filters - FlexiContent/Joomla - Can't order items

Hello

the idea is to avoid listing unpublished items among published, and thus making reordering more difficult

a workaroud to set order before publishing the item,
- is to set published up time to a future date and publish the item

but this can be a little risky,
- since a mistake in publish up time, will make the item show immediately

I tried your suggestion. For a single category, the items that are timed have been fully unpublished. Filters are set to include only published items. The ordering behaviour appears to work as expected, except that it doesn't translate to frontend reality.

IMHO Joomla article ordering shouldn't need to be dependent on "published" only articles being selected. The system that was in place before with FlexiContent worked without issue, when selecting Joomla only items settings. Something has been lost in translation to the new paradigm.

Please see attached.

Hello

then at category settings you need to go to TAB / sub-TAB:
- Items List / Basic display, Ordering

and set the order (1st level) to be "Ordering in current category"

- also if subcategory items appear, try not including them

Thank you for your patience ggppdk,

Is this where you mean to make those changes last suggested? These are the current settings, I haven't made any changes since upgrade.

Hi again,

We had to make a decision to go with setting at least Super Users to be able to use the native Joomla article manager for the sole purpose of ordering with category context selections. We will re-implement Flexi for all moderators once this is workable/intuitive for both admins and moderators when it is restored in the future.

Hello

the picture that you post is the list of sub-categories (e.g. their names)
thus of course it does not effect the items listings

you need to go to "Items list" tab and select order there
