RE: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/sort-by-price-get-it-for

Thanks for the info found on the above thead. It helped me lots. And I have it working.

However I do not understand how or why the sort on Price actually works.

As the id is set to _price ( "id" => "_price" ),
while support for 'custom-fields' is added,
and later the button link is simply <?php _e('Price','cleancut')?>.

How does one refer to the other? I don't understand where the connection is made. Is it simply sorting on the LAST custom field?

The reason I ask, is if you wanted to also add a Product ID Number ("_product_id"), how would the code know to sort on that field instead of the price field?
assuming that link would be ...
<?php _e('Product ID #','cleancut')?>.

Thanks.

The thread you're refering to uses following code for the price sort option:
```
echo "<span class='price_sort hidden'>";
	echo $the_price;
	echo "</span>";
```
As you can see the price value is between the span tags - so the sorting function can sort an use it as a parameter. (You can't see the price value because it's hidden).
