[opencms-dev] Ordering by a custom date field

[Antonio Cordeddu]

Hi Jose,

you can use a mapping in your xsd schema:

<xsd:appinfo>
<mappings>
<mapping element="MyDate" mapto="property:collector.date" />
</mappings>
         ...

</xsd:appinfo>

When the content editor saves the content the value of MyDate is written 
on collector.date property.
Then you can use the collector

collector="allInSubTreePriorityDateDesc", like Khởi suggested you.

Let me know if this work for you.


Best regards
Antonio Cordeddu
