<h2><strong>Short description</strong></h2>
<p>This module allows us to sort the elements of a field which has the select list<br>
widget. </p>
<h2><strong>Usage</strong></h2>
<p><strong>For example:</strong><br>
We have a field called Months, which is a "List (text)" field with the "Select list" widget. In the "Allowed values list" for this field we have the following values:</p>
<pre> January|January<br> February|February<br> March|March<br> April|April<br> May|May<br> June|June<br> July|July<br> August|August<br> September|September<br> October|October<br> November|November<br> December|December</pre><p>In the "<code>SORT OPTIONS</code>" fieldset:<br>
- Check "<code>Apply sort option</code>";<br>
- Choose "<code>Order by</code>" - order by text or by the selected value;</p>
<p> <strong>Explanation</strong>: If we will inspect (using FireBug or else) the Months element<br>
from the form, we will have the following:</p>
<pre> <select id="edit-field-months-und" name="field_months[und]"<br> class="form-select"><br> <option value="_none">- None -</option><br> <option value="April">April</option><br> <option value="August">August</option><br> ...<br> <option value="November">November</option><br> <option value="October">October</option><br> <option value="September">September</option><br> </select></pre><p> Based on the code above, the "value" for an option will be "<code>_none</code>"<br>
and the text will be "<code>- None -</code>".</p>
<p>- Choose "<code>Sort</code>" - Ascending or Descending.</p>
<p>In our given form, we will be able to see the elements sorted by the chosen<br>
criteria.</p>
<p>Furthermore, it is possible to add 2 new attributes for the custom created<br>
forms: "<code>#sort_order</code>" and "<code>#order_by</code>".</p>
<p>"<code>#sort_order</code>" - may contain values as "<code>asc</code>" or "<code>desc</code>" and<br>
"<code>#order_by</code>" may contain values as "<code>text</code>" or "<code>value</code>".</p>
<p><strong>For example:</strong></p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br>$form</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'selected_my_data'</span><span style="color: #007700">] = array(<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#type' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'select'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#title' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">t</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Selected Integer'</span><span style="color: #007700">),<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#options' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> array(<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'zero' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">t</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Zero'</span><span style="color: #007700">),<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'one' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">t</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'One'</span><span style="color: #007700">),<br> ...<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'seven' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">t</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Seven'</span><span style="color: #007700">),<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'seven' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">t</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Six'</span><span style="color: #007700">),<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'two' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">t</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Two'</span><span style="color: #007700">),<br> ),<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#default_value' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'nine'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#order_by' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'text'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// May contain values as "text" or "value".<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'#sort_order' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'asc'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #FF8000">// May contain values as "asc" or "desc".<br> </span><span style="color: #007700">);<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
