ExpressionEngine 2.x native prev-next entry functionality does not let you to filter and sort your entries in many ways; also it does not provide cycling through your entries. This plugin brings some advanced functionality and a bit more freedom to you in building "previous and next" links.

Features

 
• Now includes two new variables support {empty_next} and {empty_prev} that enables you to check if there is a next / prev entry available.
 
• Filter entries by a variety of search criteria.
 
• Filter entries by category or category group.
 
• Filter entries by channel id or channel name.
 
• Filter expired entries.
 
• Filter future entries.
 
• Filter entries by site id for MSM installed environments.
 
• Reverse prev and next links.
 
• Return only requested fields.
 
• Sort entries by both standard and custom fields.
 
• Cycle through entries when the end of list is reached.
 
• Search tag supports Playa Field Type (only channel entry id and url title).

WARNING

This plugin provides limited functionality comparable to native Channel Module and it is not able to handle Relationship, Playa and other complex third-party field types. Therefore values of custom fields that use one of such field types will not be returned correctly.
