Hi Mark,

don’t know if switchee is the correct way to do this (or ifelse or any other thing around), but let’s give it a try…

I have a Matrix field holding a list of names which must be sorted alphabetically. Every letter though must have a “heading”:

Letter A:
A1 (name starting with the letter “A”)
A2
A3
A4
...

Letter B:
B1
B2
B3
...

Since Lows Alphabet only handles entries I thought I can do this by switchee and some regex?!

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Achim

You can use Stash and do something like this:

But you’d need to do it for every letter, which seems a faff.

The problem is an interesting one, I think I may add some kind of grouped sorting functionality to the stash:get_list tag.

Hi Mark,

I solved it with php code in the template (which is not critical at this place) but would love to see it solved with stash ;-)
