Re: [mv] sorting help

Brian -

This should work:

[set default_profile]
mv_search_field=category
mv_sort_field=category,name,0
mv_sort_option=f,f,f
mv_matchlimit=[var DISPLAYNUM]
[/set]

The '0' is for the field 'code' (which may also be referred to as 'code' if 
this does not work), for some reason I have always needed to specify it at 
the last-level sort field or I don't get the results I want.
