When trying to sort a Metaobject that contains several metafields, including order_index of type number_integer, the Liquid engine throws an error that says cannot sort values of incompatible types. The sorting works perfectly well when sorting by single_line_text_field or string, but not with a numerical value.
Details:
We have a Metaobject defined for a size guide, containing a metafield order_index of type number_integer. We are trying to sort this Metaobject by order_index but are encountering an error.
I encountered the same issue when attempting to sort by date/number. I wasn't able to sort by number and the date isn't sourced from a metaobject JSON.
As a temporary workaround, I defined the date as a string within the metaobject. I then used regex validation to ensure user input adheres to the 'yyyy-mm-dd' format. By doing this, I was able to sort the dates alphabetically, and this approach successfully resolved the issue for me.
I hope this helps someone else facing a similar problem, but it'd be great if the core issue with sorting numerical types could be addressed. Thanks for this issue!
Summary:
When trying to sort a Metaobject that contains several metafields, including
order_index
of typenumber_integer
, the Liquid engine throws an error that sayscannot sort values of incompatible types
. The sorting works perfectly well when sorting bysingle_line_text_field

Steps to Reproduce:
order_index

.cannot sort values of incompatible types
.Expected Behavior:
The Metaobject should be sorted based on the
order_index
field without errors.Actual Behavior:
Throws error
cannot sort values of incompatible types
.Additional Information:
