Hi.
I have to import a blog from b2evolution to Exponential. First question: is there a script to do it? I think no, so I decided to insert manually every post. I created a new datefield for weblog class and I want to sort every post using this field.But how?
Searching infos in this forum I found this follow solutions:
1. Using priority like a date (i.e. setting "20051115" as priority for a today post) and sorting post by priority. But how can I set priority automatically?
2. Using "<datefield>, <title>" as object pattern name and sorting post by name. But so, Exponential uses long date as name and sorts post in this way: first every post inserted on Friday, then every post inserted on Monday, then every post inserted on Saturday and so on...I tried to use "<datefile|datetime(custom, "%Y %m %d")>, <title>" but without success.
3. Some strange solutions using fetch, sort_by and templates, but I didn't understand very well :)
Can someone help me?

You can do the "strange" things with the templates :) If you read everything on this page, I'll almost guarantee that you'll understand what to do:http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/list
You can use a datetime field and sort on that. My experience (though short with eZ) is that dates when ordered won't display today, but a date and time will. Hope this made sense.

Thank you for the reply.
I followed your suggestion: it was hard but now I'm able to sort object by every attribute :).
