      Hi Alexander,

      I’m encountering a problem with the Autocomplete Plugin regarding sorting the items:
      I want to sort by a column “Datum” which is a DatTime column descending, but the entries are sorted ascending even though I’ve set ascending to false in the configuration.

      Here is the configuration:

      spjs.ac.textField({
      “applyTo”:”Suche_x0020_Presseaussendung”,
      “helpText”:”Geben Sie den Titel der Presseaussendung ein”,
      “loadText”:”Presseaussendungen werden gesucht…”,
      “listGuid”:”Presseaussendungen”,
      “listBaseUrl”:”/ecpsharepoint”,
      “showField”:”SucheTitel”,
      “searchFields”:[],
      “filterCAML”:””,
      “useREST”:false,
      “optionDetailsFields”:[],
      “optionDetailsPrefix”: [],
      “enforceUniqueValues”:false,
      “rowLimit”:15,
      “listOptionsOnFocus”:false,
      “reValidateOnLoad”:false,
      “allowAddNew”:false,
      “addNewAdditionalFields”: [],
      “isLookupInSelf”:false,
      “multiselect”:false,
      “multiselectSeparator”:”; “,
      “minLengthBeforeSearch”:1,
      “orderBy”:[{“fin”:”Datum”,”ascending”:false,”numeric”:false}],
      “clearSetFieldsOnInvalidSelection”:false,
      “setFields”:[
      {
      “fromFIN”:”ID”,
      “toFIN”:”PresseaussendungID”,
      “parseFunction”:””,
      “skipIfEmpty”:false
      }
      ],
      “debug”:false
      });

      However, the entries are sorted Ascending in the Autocompleter whenever I perform a search.

      Am I missing something here ?

      Thank you very much in advance.

      BR,
      Chris

      Hi,
      Sorting on a date field is not currently supported (and there is also a bug that prevents sorting on a field that is not visible in the “viewField” or “optionDetailsFields”).

      I’ll fix the bug and add support for using a parseFunction in the orderBy section to let you sort on a date field in the next version. This will most likely not sometime next week.

      You can check out the new version here: https://spjsblog.com/2019/11/28/dffs-package-updated-to-v4-4-4-16/

      I have also added an example in the user manual here: https://spjsblog.com/dffs/dffs-plugins/spjs-autocomplete/#orderBy

      Hi Alexander,

      Unfortunately it is still not working.

      I’ve added the function as mentioned in the user manual as you can see in the screenshot.

      However, I get an error in the console and the spinner turns forever and returns no results (2nd Screenshot)

      Am I missing something here ?

      Thank you very much and BR,

      Chris

      From the error it looks like the value that is passed to the function is not correct – try looking at “str” when you stop at the debugger – what does it show?

        Hi Alexander,

        str = undefined is the value of str. (see attached screenshot)

        Do I have to pass a parameter in the parse function ?

        Thank you very much and BR,
        Chris

      You are right. I did not test that properly for all possible options (REST vs webservice). I’ll get it fixed during the weekend and publish an updated version.

      In the meantime you can try the attached version (rename it to .js and replace the one you have in /DFFS/plugins).

      Thanks for the feedback. I’ll release a new version of the DFFS package – including the file you already have updated – when I have sorted out one other possible bug.
