Collections Query Sort Order

Hi,

Is it possible to get the perch_collection query to use the same sort order as the Collection items in the admin section?

When I reorder the Collection items in the admin, this isn't reflected on my front-end pages (using the perch_collection query).

I've tried setting sort order in the perch_collection query to "_order", but no luck.

Thanks.

Hi Robert,

<?php
    perch_collection('Your Collection', [
        'template'   =>'template.html'
    ]); 
?>

should output the items in the order they are in admin by default.

Hi Simon,

Yes, I thought the same, but my perch_collection is in that format, but it's not using the admin order:

<?php
    perch_collection('Articles', [
        'template'  =>  'articles.html',
    'count'     =>  10,
        'paginate'  => true
    ]);
?>

Using the debug, looks like it's using the order from perch2_collection_index, rather than perch2_collection_revisions.
