Contao News Sorting
===================

[](#contao-news-sorting)

This Contao extension adds additional sort settings for the news list:

- Subheadline ascending
- Subheadline descending
- Random (Date descending)
- Custom (Date ascending)
- Custom (Date descending)

When using the *Custom* sort setting you can switch the sorting in the back end to *Sorting value* (do not forget to apply) and then sort the news articles via drag & drop in the back end.

This setting is applied via the [`NewsFilterEvent`](https://github.com/inspiredminds/contao-news-filter-event).

Note

Install [`inspiredminds/contao-categories-news-filter`](https://github.com/inspiredminds/contao-categories-news-filter) for compatibility with [`codefog/contao-news_categories`](https://github.com/codefog/contao-news_categories).
