[solved] "many listings": sort by custom field in desc, ascen or alphab. order?

Hi,

I am using the widgets since a while now and I can really confirm that they are a real traffic and reach booster for a review website - thanks for your idea and hard work to make this happen!

I got a question with regards to the following scenario:

- the many listings shows listings from the category "restaurants"

- the many listings uses the additional custom field "veg" to only show restaurants with vegetarian cuisine

- the many listings shows the city of each restaurants (or as an alternative the zip code) -setup as custom fields in the listing defaults of the widget builder/manager

all this is already feasible. However, per default such a list would be ordered by newest entries, i.e. I would have

restaurant # 1 - New York

restaurant # 2 - Boston

restaurant # 3 - Atlanta

restaurant # 4 - Detroit

Would it also be possible to sort the list to have it ordered alphabetically, i.e.

restaurant # 1 - Atlanta

restaurant # 2 - Boston

restaurant # 3 - Detroit

restaurant # 4 - New York

pretty much the same option as to have in the ordering field for a listing page? I noticed that I can use further filters as "most clicks", "most reviews", "title", etc... which I can adapt in the widget builder template file.

Would it therefore be possible to add another criteria, i.e. custom field like "city", which can be sorted?

Thanks for your help!
