Hi,
currently it is not yet implemented (maybe in the future)
but you can use jqeury Plugins
i recommend 'Tablesorter'
it is very easy to use
tablesorter.com/docs/ or other plugins/methods ...
www.lampdev.net/programming/php/json-ajax-jquery.html

but you have to adapt the used FC template (table...)
but that is not very complicated

Note:
following the tablesorter.com/docs use best

Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
jQuery.noConflict();
$("#myTable").tablesorter( {sortList: [[0,0], [1,0]]} );   
);

This "noconflict" causes that there are no problems with mootools which are integrated into joomla.

Thank you. I was actually looking at using jQuery, but I wasn't sure if there was already something built in I could use.

Much obliged.

by clicking at the table headers? no this is is not there because table columns contain random flexicontent fields,

you can display a drop-down select for ordering in every category page by title, author, newest, hits , reverse the previous , etc

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi,

with the plugin tablesorter, you can make this very easy ... no matter if columns contain random flexicontent fields
because the syntax is simply

Code:

<table id="myTable">
<thead>
<tr>
    <th>Last Name</th>
    <th>First Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
    <td>Smith</td>
    <td>John</td>
</tr>
<tr>
...

Code:

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(“#myTable”).tablesorter();
}
);
</script>

but of course you can also do it so

Yes, but Javascript ordering cannot work with multiple-page content lists (category/tags/favourites views)

Drop down select ordering will work with multiple pages since it is used inside the DB query that produces the content (item) list
and it supports:

"Use Default Order"
"Added -- Oldest first"
"Added -- Most Recent first"
"Modified - Most Recent first"
"Title -- Alphabetical"
"Title -- Alphabetical Reverse"
"Author -- Alphabetical"
"Author -- Alphabetical Reverse"
"Popularity -- Most hits first"
"Popularity -- Least hits first"
"Content 's ordering attribute"
