Component body
This module allows you to list different content types with Views but sort against a different field per content type, e.g.
| Content type | Fieldproperty |
|---|---|
| Event | Event state date |
| Press release | Publication date |
| Basic page | Last updated |
#2133879 describes the problem and proposes workarounds using the Views API but this module takes a different approach which aims to make this functionality accessible to a wider audience.
