order fields by name

[ngrmm]

i want to output some of my pagefields as options in a html select tag
i can do this this way:

$search_options = $templates->get("catalog_item")->fields;

but i'm not able to sort them:

$search_options = $templates->get("catalog_item")->fields("sort=label");

array_multisort() ksort() doesn't work either. is sort limited to pagearrays?

you could try something like:

$search_options = $templates->get("project")->fields;
$fieldNames = array();
foreach($search_options as $so) {
    $fieldNames[] = $so->name;
}
sort($fieldNames);

afaik, $search_options is an object, not an array.

You can use sort() on WireArray derived objects :

$search_options = $templates->get("catalog_item")->fields->sort("label"); // or sort("-label")

thx @dragan and @flydev

ok i understand. this also means that i'm not able to remove items (fields) with ->remove()?
