This module takes different displays within a single view and allows them to be viewed via tab navigation within a single page. According to documentation, if I create multiple displays, I should be able to change the settings for each display?

I'm using Views2. If I change the sorting for one display, it changes the sorting for all displays within that view. There is no separate sort settings for each display within a view. Perhaps there is a setting in Views which allows for this?

Am I missing something? How can this module allow 'exposed sorting' within a single view if I have to create a different View for each sort criteria?

Thanks for any help clearing this up.

Is the sorting set to inherit from the default display or have you overridden it? What you describe is consistent with inherited sorting. You must override it for each display.

Okay, thanks. I'm trying to do that, but it's not working - the entire View changes, default and original display, along with secondary display I'm setting to 'override'.

I'll have to spend an hour or two to get it to work, I guess. But clearly, it's an issue I'm having with Views and not the VDT module. Appreciate the help, as it's clear I _should_ be able to set different sorts for different displays.

Finally coming back to this, I got the separate displays sorting independently from one another. I have no idea what I was doing wrong before. It just seems to work for me now.

Since I don't know your details, here's a basic test for it.

Create a View for Nodes with a Page display called 'Page'. Add fields, filters, etc. Add sorting field. Update all your changes.

Add a new Page display and name it Page2. Go to the Sort filter area, while Page2 is selected on the left Display nav, and click the field name you want to differentiate.

There should be a button called 'Override' that appears in the upper right area of the sort settings for the field. Click that.

Then reverse the sorting for that field.

'Update' the sort filter.

Go back to display named 'Page' and look at the sort order on the same field. Then click to 'Page2' display. They should now be flipping back and forth.

Your View has a 'default' sort that your main display uses. Any other sort orders are 'overrides' of the default.

I think my problem was I was hitting 'Override' and forgetting to click 'Update'. Or, the first time, my head was clouded, and the next time I did it, my head was clear. Not sure what happened.

Hope this helps.
