[solved] How to set children sort by field from API

[apeisa]

I started to write this post and at the same time figured out the answer from source. Decided to post my problem, since this is something that is currently missing from cheatsheet (not sure if everything should be there).

I create page from API and I need to set that it children get sorted by custom field called candidate_number. How to set that from API?

This is how:

$p->sortfield = $fields->get('v_candidate_number');

You should also be able to do this:

$p->sortfield = 'v_candidate_number';
