Extra sorting criterium in case of ex aequo with Views

Question

My articles have a 'Ranking' field, which contains an integer. I have a view that sorts articles depending on this value: the article with the highest score is a the top. Now, when two articles have the same amount of points, I'd like the most recently posted article to get the highest ranking.

For example. Let's say I have 3 articles:

• 'Article A' (5 points - posted on 30/12)
• 'Article B' (5 points - posted on 21/12)
• 'Article C' (6 points - posted on 20/12).

The ranking should be:

1. 'Article C'
2. 'Article A'
3. 'Article B'

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Add a new sort criteria, Posting date, set it to descending and make sure the order of your sort criterias are correct, first points, then date.
