Sorting on “attributes”

    I am using Catalog X on the below site to list books by an author.
    Specifically, in the above case, books in a series.

    Catalog X Version: 1.5.13
    Catalog X Database Version: 1.5.11
    WP Version: 5.5.1
    Attributes Table by impleCode – 1.2.2

    I added an Attribute: Book Order
    I then assigned NS1, NS2, NS3 etc for the value of each book, corresponding to the order in the book series.

    The website FAQ indicates that there should be 4 fields under Settings > attributes
    Attribute Name, Attribute Value, Unit, Sorting Type
    https://implecode.com/docs/custom-product-order/sort-by-product-attributes/
    However, my installation only lists the first three — and there is no option added to the Default Sort order on the General tab either.

    How can I implement a sort on the custom attribute so that books can be listed in order of release?

    Hi @kindred,

    The mentioned feature is is a part of Custom Product Order extension.

    I see. That was not clear from the documentation.

    So, if I want any sort of additional sort, it’s part of the “pro” version.
    thanks.
    I assume that “search on”/”filter on” custom fields is also a pro feature?

    Related note, might be the same answer.
    How do I get the fields to DISPLAY? I’ve added some additional fields, and filled them in…. but those fields are not displayed anywhere on the front-end view of the products in the catalog.

    Hi @kindred,

    There is a notice on the top of the documentation page that it is a part of Custom Product Order extension ??

    What “search on”/”filter on” custom fields feature do you mean?

    What additional fields did you fill? Can you please provide more details?
