Liquid Tags

This plugin provides several tags that will add sort functionality.

The following is a list of tags and their options(and defaults):

• sort_by_field
• sort_boolean

Both tags follow the following syntax:

{% <tag_name> to <variable_name> from <content_type/collection> by <field_name> [reverse] %}

Here is an example of sorting the content type people into the variable sorted_people by their name:

{% sort_by_field to sorted_people from contents.people by name %}

Here is an example of sorting those people already sorted by email opt out, with those who haven’t opted out first:

{% sort_boolean to second_sort from sorted_people by email_opt_out reverse %}
