Question
Have you ever wanted to sort a standard content fetch (say 'list') using the node object's modified_subnode field? Well .. you can!
Example
Here is a code example of how to use this undocumented sort_by clause.
{def$root_node=fetch('content', 'node', hash('node_id', $pagedata.path_array[$left_menu_depth].node_id ))$left_menu_items=fetch('content', 'list', hash('parent_node_id', $root_node.node_id, 'sort_by', array('modified_subnode', false()), 'load_data_map', false(), 'class_filter_type', 'include', 'class_filter_array', ezini('MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini')))
Worth mentioning 'modified_subnode' is not a perfect sort order, at times it may leave somethings to be desired in terms of accuracy, but for me today on eZecosystem.org it was better that using 'modified' or 'published'!
