I have received some requests to post a howto about sorting links by a custom field.
This is just a simple guide, I did it on phpLD 3.4 but it should work on most versions.

Note:

I haven't done and won't do any intensive testing.

Content visible to registered users only.You will now access the links sorted by your custom field as follows:
Content visible to registered users only.To show the sorting options when browsing links, edit your /templates/{YOUR-TPL}/main.tpl (could be also another file depending on your template) and look for something similar to:
Content visible to registered users only.Add another options with:
Content visible to registered users only.Boby
