Hi Dave and Ross

Our category is made by consoling custom service.
but there is no "Order" function.
We can not "Drag" or "UP DN" our category item. Every time we upload. it will list by number or "A to Z"
That is a problem.

Can we have the basic function for our consolting service?

Thanks a lot.

Hi JH,

This is for the custom work Ross is doing for you right?

Basically you just need to add a field called "dragSortOrder" and it should work. I'm not sure if this would cause any other problems with your custom setup, though.

I've asked Ross to give it a try for you. If it's easy we'll do it for you, if there's more complications we'll let you know.

Hope that helps!

Hi JH

I had a quick look and it the drag sort ordering is back in. I don't think it's going to effect any of the other work I did. I had removed it originally as a precaution.

If there is anything else we can do, let me know we'll setup a new project.

Thanks!

hi Dave and Ross

Thank you so much for your help.
It look nice.

We would like to add "parent_category" to "sub_category" panel by ourself?

Is it possible add the field only useing CMS Builder by ourself ? or we need to open the code to add it?

Hi JH,

Try adding the fields here:

Admin > Section Editors > Your Section > ListPage Fields

They should match the fieldnames and probably look something like this:

subcategory, category

If you can't get it to work just change it back to what it was originally and let us know.

Hope that helps!
