Filter images by category

Posted by Community Admin on 04-Aug-2011 00:00

Hello,

I want to know how is the categories tree being sorted in the images filter "by Category" (i.e. Content>Images>Filter by Categories)?
Please refer to attached image, the tree is not sorted by the category title, also it is not sorted by the creation date, can you tell what is the field used to order these categories in the tree? and is there a way to sort this tree by certain field (the category title for example)?

Thanks.

Hello Amrelsayed,

There is no specific order. Here are the parameters passed to the service

filter	`TaxonId.Category==5b22e53c-a336-4a65-a58a-084b016ee65f`
itemType	`Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Image`
managerType
provider
providerName
skip	`0`
sortExpression	`Ordinal ASC`
take	`50`

and there is the service request

Sitefinity/Services/Content/ImageService.svc/?managerType=&providerName=&itemType=Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Image&provider=&sortExpression=Ordinal%20ASC&skip=0&take=50&filter=TaxonId.Category==5b22e53c-a336-4a65-a58a-084b016ee65f

The sorting is by Ordinal number - position of the item in the data storage.

There is a configuration section that allows you to change the filter(Sitefinity/Administration/Settings/Advanced and then Libraries >> Controls >> Views >> ImagesBackendList) , but I tested it and it turns out that it does not work properly. I logged a bug about this issue.

All the best,
