I have figured out that I can set the filters and the limit of a list view using the query portion of the url:

How can I/is it possible to set the order field/direction in the same way?

I have tried

But that does not work.


Also, when I set the limit via the url - it changes to the pagination across my entire component. I would like to be able to provide a link where limit=0 to display all the records when accessing the view via that link, but leave the global limit set to what the user has set in pagination footer.

Thanks for the help.

Ok,l have discovered that you can set the filter order and direction using:


Still, I would like these values to be "sticky" (not affect the "default" state values) when they are called through the URL. Is this possible?

Hi there,

I think that you'll probably want to look into state vars... Essentially, state vars are just session data. Please see joomla docs here for info: docs.joomla.org/How_to_use_user_state_variables

Hope it helps,
