I have 2 views. One is used to sort content of type slider using draggableviews. The other one displays an image field of the same slider content type. How can I use the weigh (sort order) of the first view in the second one?

In other words, I want to have one view that lets me sort my slider content, and another one that displays the slider content in the order defined in the first view. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

You can 'connect' both views through the (hidden) node ID:

  • add the field Content: Nid to the fields list of your first view and check Exclude from display on the next screen.

  • also add the field Content: Nid to the fields list of your first view and check Exclude from display on the next screen.

  • add Draggableviews: weight to the sorting criteria of both views.

  • in your second views sorting settings choose your first view under Display sort as to connect both.

  • Sorry I had another field that was causing issues. I found the option now. The strange thing is that it doesn't seem to make any difference whether I choose Sort ascending or Sort descending.

  • It's all right. I have set the arguments handling to Do not use any arguments (use empty arguments) and all is fine now. Thanks again!
