CMSReapter OrderBy not working

Mb _Krishna asked on February 17, 2017 12:41

I am using a CMSRepeater in widget code behind . <cms:CMSRepeater runat="server" ID="customRepeater" > I'm binding the data also in code behind and used customRepeater.orderBy="NodeID" and I'm sending dataset by NodeID order too, but the repeater is binding in it's own order. Is there any I can achieve order by from code behind ?

Have you verified the order of the items you are putting out? NodeID's are not a very valid way to sort IMHO because of the sporadic numbers you will receive. Better off using NodeLevel, NodeOrder, NodeName

customRepeater.orderBy="NodeID DESC" or customRepeater.orderBy="NodeID ASC"

If you're binding the data in the code behind, sometimes you need to call customRepeater.ReloadData(true); after to get it to rebind. But if it's rendering otherwise, Brenden's note on the order should do the trick.

Can you check the NodeId's of the response and validate it against those entries in the DB?

I agree with Brenden. It is not a conducive way. What is your requirement here?

BTW, NodeID will change from server to server.

Thanks, Chetan
