I've a created a custom observer within Magento for changing the order of my feed. In the config.xml I enabled this part.
<ewfeed_feed_products>
<observers>
<example_ewfeed_products>
<type>singleton</type>
<class>ewfeed/observer_example</class>
<method>feedProducts</method>
</example_ewfeed_products>
</observers>
</ewfeed_feed_products>
I've changed the Example.php to this.
static function feedProducts(Varien_Object $observer)
{
$feed = $observer->getFeed();
$productCollection = $observer->getProductCollection();
$transport = $observer->getTransport();
//lets try sorting
$productCollection->addAttributeToSort('news_to_date', 'DESC');
$originalIds = $productCollection->getAllIds();
// any ids set here are products that will be used in the feed. they will be listed in the order of the ids in the array
// so if you change the order it will change the order of the outputted products. you can also filter products here
$transport->setProductIds($originalIds); // set to null to use default
}
The 'new_to_date' is a attribute with a date value. Now what I need is that the feed will be sorted by this date descending. But nothing happens when I add the addAttributeToSort. Can someone help me out here?
