'Build a basic lsiting'

Correct a tutorial error for building a basic listing.

Overview

The tutorial contains outdated interface terminology.
Update the instructions by selecting "Elements" and then "Sorting Link" instead of the previously mentioned "List elements" and "sorter" options.

I suspect that the text in Part 2 of the FAQ "Build a basic listing' is incorrect.
It reads

Our function is ready to sort by this table field now, but we need to add the sorting link "view", so we go under "Views", click "List elements" and select "sorter".
We change the name to "title_sorter", write "Article.title" in the "Field" setting, and write "Title" in the "Content" setting.
Now open our table1 view by clicking the link on the left side, and in the "Columns list", we replace "Article.title:Title" with "Article.title:{view:title_sorter}".



I think that the phrase

click "List elements" and select "sorter".

is incorrect and should read

click "Elements" and select "Sorting Link".



Or have I missed something??

Hi Nick,

Correct, the tutorial was written after the first release but the view name was changed later.
