I have been trying to find out how to sort the NodeReferrer results in a View and have been unable to get any answers. Now I am afraid I am using a dead or abandoned module.

NodeReferrer Project Issue: "Sort By Title not working in Drupal 6.x Views"
http://drupal.org/node/729524

Forum Topic "How does one sort Node Referrers in a View?"
http://drupal.org/node/731588

Is anyone using NodeReferrer?

I only want to know if I should continue to pursue using NodeReferrer or need to look elsewhere for a solution.

Thanks for any guidence.

you can check for yourself: http://drupal.org/project/usage/nodereferrer.

Also, last commit was 3 days ago so no, it's not dead.

Hi WorldFallz,

Thanks as always for the response.

I was partially being facetious hoping to get some reaction because while most of my posts get some reaction, my posts regarding sorting of NodeReferrer results has gotten none.

The other reason was because I saw that Backlinks was brought into Drupal 7 and I was thinking that perhaps Backlinks has taken the thunder from NodeReferrer (although my perception is they do not serve the same purpose).

I did look into trying to replace the Views query with my own (that included a subquery that brought the sorted Referrer Nodes to the main query), but the View query does not retrieve the Referrer Nodes so there is something else going on that I do not know where is. If I replace the View Query, I would think that have to have the same number and names as the original View Query and that would still leave me without the referrer nodes. Hopefully, I will find someone who is actually using NodeReferrer who has fiogured out how to sort the results or that can tell me it cannot work for me. Othrewise I think the NodeReferrer works great.
