Hello,
I have problem with search results. I want sort results by extafields.
Example:
I have flats (realestate) with several extrafields. I wanna sort by: price, area, bathrooms etc.l extrafields. I want sorting by: price, area, bathrooms etc.
Is this possible with this extension?

No I am afraid, JA K2 Filter does not support to order by extra fields.

I had also the same issue. There is no way to sort items by extra fields?
And if its not possible via joomla, could it be possible by any change at sql tables?

As mentioned in earlier post above, JA K2 Filter does not have an option to sort items by extra fields.
Is it possible implementing this features in next version?

Searching at Google i found somewhere the following solution
<blockquote>Create a menu item linking to an empty article.
Create a module k2 contents that selects from your k2 category, that appears on your new empty page
For “Order by”, select “Title alphabetical” – we use this as we are going to hack it – so it needs to be an order you will not use for any other module
Open the file modules/mod_k2_content/helper.php
on line 195 find the code
case ‘alpha’ :
$orderby = ‘i.title DESC’;
break;
and replace with:
case ‘alpha’ :
$orderby = ‘i.extra_fields DESC’;
break;
OR
change the component file:
componentscom_k2modelsitemlist.php
(I don’t know how to do a proper override of this file.)
There I added my order instruction in line 334, overwriting the default ordering (by id):
$orderby = ‘i.alias ASC’;</blockquote>
I know that is not based only on your module but mainly on k2. Altough could you waste some time to look at it and tell if it works and if yes give some more details? I tried something like that unsuccesfully, but perhaps i am doing something wrong. It would be very helpful if items could be sorted by extra fields too!
Thank you

Thank you for your suggestion, but the code that you mentioned will not work
[PHP]case ‘alpha’ :
$orderby = ‘i.extra_fields DESC’;
break; [/PHP]
Since, extra_fields field stores Json string that encodes all extra fields, so if you order by this field, you will not get a list with expected ordering.
I just raised this issue in our issue tracker system for further consideration whether we can add this feature in upcoming version or not. You can check status of this issue here.

Ok thank you. And now which are next steps?
I mean shall i wait an update containing that option in the near future, or complete the site i am working on and hoping that after some months there might be something new?
And apart from that, for now there is absolutely no way to do what i want?
