Order records by month

order records by month in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurred because the user incorrectly placed the MONTH() function in the Conditions box, which is for filtering, not sorting.
To resolve this, move the MONTH() function to the Order box to correctly sort the records by month.

Hello there!

I have a little problem with CC 5. I have a table with few fields and one of them is date, in format 0000-00-00. I populate the table using a form i made with ChronoForms V5. Now, I want to list records, ordered by the month. I'm trying to use MONTH(model.field) to extract the month from date in "Conditions" box, but it's not working.

Can someone please point me in the right directions?

Thank you very much, in advance!

Hi ionesko,

The conditions box is matching the WHERE clause, so how do you plan to use it for "Order" ?

Please try this in the "Order" box:
:MONTH(model.field)
