How to sort items in a query inside a variant?

Question

I need to sort items returning from a query inside a variant. For example query:.//*[@@templatename='Template']. I need to sort these items since it doesn't work through build query. Any ideas?

While using Variant Query you can use:

• normal Sitecore query
• Sitecore content search query

Try something like this:

+template:{7826b36e-d813-40cf-aa33-26132ff2dad6};sort:published
+template:{7826b36e-d813-40cf-aa33-26132ff2dad6};sort:published[desc]

where published is field of an item. Use your field there.
