I have 8 person in our organization.
Every person have different job's level.

Our site : http://ctrbs.org/staffList.php
1 Central Director
1 Director
4 Assistant Professor
2 Doctor of Medicine

I have to show it in each block and one page.

I want to be classified. want to look like below:

Central Director
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Mr. A

Director
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Mr. B

Assistant Professor
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Mr. C
- Mr. D
- Mr. E
- Mr. F

Doctor of Medicine
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Mr. G
- Mr. H

Central Director
Doctor of Medicine
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Mr. I

(Above all in one same page.)

I tried to use "Mutil-recore" & "Category Menu" to do it.

Seems can not do it.

Is there any way can do like this?



Thanks!

Jacgo,

How are you selecting the classification for each person?

Hi Jerry [/#000000]

There are two way I tried.
but I found there are no function can do it..

1) I supposed I can use separator on the filed on the section. but this is not fit the issue for the Field Type.
2) [url "http://ctrbs.org/mambersList.php"][url "http://ctrbs.org/mambersList.phpI"]http://ctrbs.org/mambersList.php[/#0066cc][/url]
[/url]I created Section "Category Menu" I though it can do the work.
but every Parent Category show one recode only. Not full recode list.

Not really understand "Category Menu" function.

Hi,

A good place to start would be to create a list field called "job_level" where you can select a job level for each person (Central Director, director, etc). That way you have a way of telling which record belongs in each category.

Once you've done that, attach a copy of your code and I can give you an example of how to sort them into various headers.

Hope this helps

One easy way to select the category for each person is to create a multi record section editor called Category, with only one text field called category. (make sure you delete the title and content field and any reference to them from all the field lists etc.)

Then, in the editor where you have the 8 people's records, create a multi record list field that get's it's list options from the "category" database. Use the the "num" field for the option and the "category" field for the label.

(You could just enter the categories in the options list, but then your client could not easily add another category )

In each of the people's records, check the categories that apply for each people record.

Then you can echo the values from that field in your viewer where you list the 8 people.
