How I can customize the Leemon CMS to filter the content by customzied field?

Question

I'm using Lemoon CMS. I've created a new Content Type, and i've modified it with new fields and all its working fine.

I created a new user control to show some data from my content type which the field ("isFeatured=true")

How I can customize the code to filter the content, and how i can sort the data by custom added field?

 ContentQuery query = new ContentQuery();
    query.ParentID = 70;
    query.MinDepth = 1;
    query.MaxDepth = 1;
    query.LanguageMode = LanguageMode.Fallback;
    query.SearchNonSearchable = null;
    query.ContentTypes.Add(typeof(Mindroute.Lemoon.Generated.ContentType.ServiceItem).FullName);

    query.ContentTypeMode = ContentTypeMode.Inherit;
    //query.OrderBy.Add(new SortItem(ContentColumn.Columns[6], "desc"));
    Response.Write(ContentColumn.Columns[6]);
    query.PageSize = 8;
    Entries = ContentService.Search(query).Cast<Mindroute.Lemoon.Generated.ContentType.ServiceItem>();

First, I think you can simplify your code that gets the ServiceItems. You could simply use ContentService.GetChildren<ServiceItem>(70) instead of setting up a ContentQuery.

To filter and order by a specific property you could then use Linq like this:

var children = ContentService.GetChildren<ServiceItem>(70);
var filtered = children.Where(x => x.IsFeatured == true);
var ordered = filtered.OrderBy(x => x.SomeOtherProperty);

It is also possible to use ContentQuery to find items with custom properties, you would then need to set ContentQuery.PropertyValue = new PersistedValue("IsFeatured", true);

How i can order my content using a content type field using "ContentQuery"? – Moayyad Zeyad Faris Jul 21 '14 at 01:13
The "ContentService" gives me the following error: At least one object must implement IComparable!! Please advise – Moayyad Zeyad Faris Jul 21 '14 at 01:15
I don't think you can use ContentQuery to order by a "custom" property. You need to use the OrderBy(x => x.Property) extension method for this. – lajjne Jul 21 '14 at 12:25
but it gave me the following error:At least one object must implement IComparable – Moayyad Zeyad Faris Jul 21 '14 at 22:58
Hmm, never seen that before. Can you show some code? – lajjne Jul 22 '14 at 07:09
var children = ContentService.GetChildren(70); var filtered = children.Where(x => x.Featured == true); var ordered = filtered.OrderBy(x => x.OrderBy); Response.Write(ordered.Count()); – Moayyad Zeyad Faris Jul 22 '14 at 09:16
