Sorting logic with anonymous function does not work

8:09 AM

:) welcome

thanks!

So this is the string of nids given by my contextual filter:
20697,20735,20768,20903,20695,21863,20743,20726,20710,20730,20719,20691,20693,20701,20713,20699,20724,20751,20758,20859,20860,20861,20857,20858

24 of them actually...

And without sorting they are in the view

view output

TBJ

yes, but not in the order given

so I first tried with a sorting critera

And when that tid not work I tried with hook_views_pre_render

J. Reynolds

so you can confirm that all of these nids are in the pre-render's $view->result as well.

TBJ

But you are probably right... if I remember correctly there are 22 nids in view->result

As long as they all belong to the list.

you use dmp or debugger

TBJ

Problaby because there are 2 or 3 unpublished nids

devel

J. Reynolds

and what is the dmp output of $sortorder just before you call usort

TBJ

Wait 1 minute while i write that line

... (Array, 24 elements)

0 (String, 5 characters ) 20697
1 (String, 5 characters ) 20735
2 (String, 5 characters ) 20768
3 (String, 5 characters ) 20903
4 (String, 5 characters ) 20695
5 (String, 5 characters ) 21863
6 (String, 5 characters ) 20743
7 (String, 5 characters ) 20726
8 (String, 5 characters ) 20710
9 (String, 5 characters ) 20730
10 (String, 5 characters ) 20719
11 (String, 5 characters ) 20691
12 (String, 5 characters ) 20693
13 (String, 5 characters ) 20701
14 (String, 5 characters ) 20713

So $sortorder is identical with the string given from the contextual filter

J. Reynolds

So that corresponds to the nids passed into the contextual filter.

TBJ

yes, I was surprised first that there was a need for a sorting function at all, I thought that the nodes would appear in the given order

Can you output a list of the nids contained in $view->result just before calling usort. Reason is that if it is not in the list it will return FALSE from array_search, and if two of then are bieng compared FALSE === FLASE

TBJ

J. Reynolds

nodes by default appaear in nid order

TBJ

aha

Had to do a couple of lines with a foreach to accomplis the list of nids:

... (Array, 22 elements)

0 (String, 5 characters ) 20691
1 (String, 5 characters ) 20693
2 (String, 5 characters ) 20695
3 (String, 5 characters ) 20697
4 (String, 5 characters ) 20699
5 (String, 5 characters ) 20701
6 (String, 5 characters ) 20710
7 (String, 5 characters ) 20713
8 (String, 5 characters ) 20719
9 (String, 5 characters ) 20724
10 (String, 5 characters ) 20726
11 (String, 5 characters ) 20730
12 (String, 5 characters ) 20743

J. Reynolds

also FALSE will evaluate to 0, so if nid is not present it will be sorted before any other nodes

TBJ

this is the list of nids contained in $vire->result before calling usort

J. Reynolds

8:25 AM

And what is $view->result nids after usort?

TBJ

This the same array after calling usort

... (Array, 22 elements)

0 (String, 5 characters ) 20697
1 (String, 5 characters ) 20768
2 (String, 5 characters ) 20695
3 (String, 5 characters ) 21863
4 (String, 5 characters ) 20743
5 (String, 5 characters ) 20726
6 (String, 5 characters ) 20710
7 (String, 5 characters ) 20730
8 (String, 5 characters ) 20719
9 (String, 5 characters ) 20691
10 (String, 5 characters ) 20693
11 (String, 5 characters ) 20701
12 (String, 5 characters ) 20713
13 (String, 5 characters ) 20699

J. Reynolds

So the usort does work properly

TBJ

Uh?

J. Reynolds

The View->result after usort is sorted in the order you want

TBJ

The four first in $sortorder:

20697,20735,20768,20903

The four first after sorting:
0 (String, 5 characters ) 20697
1 (String, 5 characters ) 20768
2 (String, 5 characters ) 20695
3 (String, 5 characters ) 21863

20735 and 20903 is not in the list of nodes

unpublished

TBJ

Hmmm

J. Reynolds

Not in the list of $view->result before usort

TBJ

Aha...

J. Reynolds

Is it rendering in correct order
