One of our reccurent issue with the new J3.7 custom fields is the possibility to order a category view (list, blog etc) by a custom fields. For example if we create a custom fields for a price we want 2 things :
By the way thanks for your great work on the new component !
- To be able to order by this price fields from the menu link
- To have a module (like the filter module) for adding for the visitors the possibility to order by customs fields like an e-commerce website.
By the way thanks for your great work on the new component !

Yeah it seems OK : I go testing this changed file on our real project website
Do you know why I have the "No suitable custom fields" in custom fields widget in blog:article layout on this dev website ?
thanks for highlighting this - in this new development version I have added support for editing com_contact form layouts and this introduced this problem.
If you replace the file administrator/models/fields/elscustomfield.php with this file it will resolve the problem

On our real project :
So I'm not sure what I prefer : custom fields showing or ordering
- Ordering is OKay
- We have definetly lost the custom fields on category intro article

I've looked at the dev site and installed eXtplorer so I could add comments in the code.
I found the issue - I had assumed (incorrectly) that there would be filtering involved if the page was ordered so without it the re-ordering was ignored. It works ok on the dev server now (the file I changed was plugins/system/easylayouts/easylayouts.php)
Can you check your issues are resolved by that change? Thanks

I give you acces to a fresh Joomla but we have a real project bugged too but we will see aftrer because we have done a lot of other things on it and it don't work as well on this fresh
Where Does I make an mistake?
- Blog articles
- Add a date fields in group and applicates to the category (check if show on blog view) and add a custom date to the articles
- add Easylaout and create Blog and blog:article view > the custom field is not reachable related to the ordring mis-function, I suspect this of course
- Modified the home view as a blog view and override the ordering

Can you give me access to the dev site so I can check the queries it uses. It works fine on my development servers

That's interesting - the function should be available.
Can you try unzipping and uploading this file to administrator/components/com_easylayouts/models/fields/elscustomfieldformeunitemconstraint.php - does that resolve the issue?

We have try and.... Now in menu linik edition in back office we just have Details and Custom fields Condition fields tabs with Js error : "ReferenceError: setCustomfieldChoice is not defined" and the ordering don't work. Tested on 3 websites (2 dev and 1 very fresh)
I have something for you to experiment with - I'll update the development build for you to try at https://www.easylayouts.net/support/discussions/latest-build-of-easylayouts
At present it allows you to sort articles in featured view, category blog and category list views. If it does what you need then I can look at extending this to modules too.

Yessss ! We can't wait to see this ! And yes we understand the difficulty to create this after having make a little exploration of all of this.
I had been struggling to find a mechanism to do this but have now got it working for the core fields - next step is to configure the menu item, pass the parameters through and do the extra database join.
I'm going to start with a single ordering option i.e. just by one column/custom field and not with a secondary choices (I'll use the Joomla default sorting options here instead).
I hope to have something for you to play with in the next couple of days

It couldn't be a checkbox with multiple options - i.e. a field with more than one checkbox since there would be more than one value stored in the same field.
I've added it to the TODO list - hopefully for version 1.1.0

I think it could be limit to certain type of custom fields in the first place like text fields maybe checkbox (fields is check or not)
And yes of course the performance have to be considered.
And yes of course the performance have to be considered.
This should be possible to implement but there are complications:
1. List fields would be ordered by the value of the options not the displayed text
2. Multi-select fields would give meaningless results
3. There would be a slight performance hit.
Another place it could be used is in the category list view where you could sort by clicking the column headings.
I'll look into it - but its likely to be a few weeks before its available.
