Cannot sort list module

[DavidPoulin]

(I asked the same question in the community forums yesterday, moving the thread here)

Fresh new install (Joomla 3.3.1), fresh Fabrik install from GitHub (joomla3 branch). Enabled Ajaxify for the list module, enabled sorting for one element.

https://www.93pounds.com/ (our test site)

Clicking on the header doesn't do anything (apart from a "loading" dialog). No errors.

I have found that this bug only affects a list module. I can sort no problem by having a menu item which is of type fabrik list: https://www.93pounds.com/test

• Tried navigation Ajax = no, did not make a difference
• I disabled Joomla error reporting, did not make a difference
• I see no javascript or net errors using Firebug in Firefox 29 on either the module or the menu item

I took a look at what Fabrik is doing when I trigger the sort. The following are the POST parameters that the page is sending.

Confirmed, ordering in a list module is not working at all.
Even if set in module directly (e.g. id desc) it's ignored.

OK, looking at this one now.

hello
Thanks for the detailed report on the issue.
Could you update from github as I've had a go at resolving this issue for you
cheers

I had to apply a small fix for Rob's fix to my fix, so it should now work in the situation where elements are not set for "order by" in the main element settings, but are chosen in the module specific order by settings.
