Sort by Calc Element is not working

[marcelf]

Sort by calc element is not working. An example is the Total element in the Orders list. It isnt working sorting by Total to see the most expensive Order.

If there isnt a way to correct this, in the administrator > fabrik > elements > List view > Allow ordering cant be Yes.

Thanks,
Marcel

Is the calc's data actually saved in the database? Take a look with something like phpMyAdmin, and see if that column actually has data.

Depending how your calc element is set up, and when you set it up (relative to when the data was added to the list), the calc's data may not actually be saved in the table, it may just be calc'ing it on the fly when the list is displayed. In which case, you'd have to edit and save the records to get the calc to save it.
