Using **SuperSort**'s "sort as" methods, you can sort an array of elements by any accessible object value — including values from Matrix blocks, attributes of related elements, math calculations, etc. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Installation [](#installation) Visit the *Plugin Store* in your Craft control panel, search for **SuperSort**, and click to *Install* the plugin. Or, if you're feeling frisky, you can install **SuperSort** via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` composer require topshelfcraft/supersort ``` ### General usage [](#general-usage) Use the `supersort` filter to sort an array of objects. (You can apply `supersort` to any array or *ElementQuery*. A non-array-like source will be converted into a single-item array... which probably isn't very useful for sorting.) ### Basic Sorting [](#basic-sorting) The first parameter of the filter specifies the sort method. ``` {% set sortedSource = source | supersort('asort') %} ``` You can use any of [PHP's built-in sort methods](http://php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php): - [`'asort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php) - [`'arsort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.arsort.php) - [`'ksort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.ksort.php) - [`'krsort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.krsort.php) - [`'natsort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php) - [`'natcasesort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.natcasesort.php) - [`'sort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php) - [`'rsort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.rsort.php) - [`'shuffle'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php) If you don't supply this first parameter, a plain vanilla `asort` will be applied: ``` {% set sortedSource = source | supersort %} ``` In many common cases — such as when you're sorting names, numbers, or filenames — the default `'asort'` algorithm may produce unwanted results. In those cases, consider using the case-insensitive natural sorting algorithm ([`'natcasesort'`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.natcasesort.php)). ### Advanced ("As") Sorting [](#advanced-as-sorting) You can also sort by one of **SuperSort**'s custom methods: - `'sortAs'` - `'rsortAs'` - `'natsortAs'` - `'natcasesortAs'` To use these methods, you will provide a second parameter, which is a Twig object template to [render](https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-web-view.html#renderObjectTemplate()-detail) using each object in the array: ``` {% set upcomingEvents = upcomingEvents | supersort('sortAs', '{eventDates.first.date}') %} {% set upcomingEvents = upcomingEvents | supersort('sortAs', '{{ object.eventDates.first.date }}') %} ``` (This "object template" syntax is the same as you might use to define a [Dynamic Subfolder Path](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/assets-fields#dynamic-subfolder-paths) for an Assets field. ### Sort Flags [](#sort-flags) You can optionally provide a third parameter — one of PHP's [sort flags](http://php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php). ``` {% set source = source | supersort('sortAs', '{foo}', SORT_NUMERIC) %} {% set source = source | supersort('asort', null, SORT_NUMERIC) %} ``` If you don't supply this third parameter, the default (`SORT_REGULAR`) flag is used. ### Custom-Order Sorting via Archetype [](#custom-order-sorting-via-archetype) The custom-order methods sort an array by custom order provided in an archetype. - `'customOrderSort'` - `'customOrderKsort'` To use these methods, you will provide an archetype (exemplar) list via the `comp` parameter: ``` {% set upcomingEvents = upcomingEvents | supersort('customOrderSort', comp: ['Value1', 'Value2']) %} {% set upcomingEvents = upcomingEvents | supersort('customOrderKsort', comp: ['key1', 'key2']) %} ``` Items which do not appear in the archetype list appear at end of the list, in their original relative order. ### Using SuperSort as a PHP helper [](#using-supersort-as-a-php-helper) If you'd like to use the `superSort()` method as a helper in another Craft plugin or component, you can access it in PHP directly from the Sorter service: ``` $result = Sorter::superSort($array, $method, $as, $sortFlag, $comp); ``` (Note: [PHP's built-in sort methods](http://php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php) sort an array in place and return a *boolean* representing success. The `superSort()` method, by contrast, returns the result *array*.) --- Support ------- [](#support) ### What are the system requirements? [](#what-are-the-system-requirements) Craft 5.0+ and PHP 8.0+ ### I found a bug. [](#i-found-a-bug) Nah... ### I triple-checked. It's a bug. [](#i-triple-checked-its-a-bug) Well, alright.
