Input field that provides built-in number validation and numeric sorting.

Datasource Filtering

The number field provides two additional datasource filtering methods:

Range filtering

You can easily filter by a numeric range on the number field on your datasource. Simply enter something like this:

10 to 20

This will return all entries that have a field value between 10 and 20. Spaces are optional.

Just like any other datasource filter, you can make these values dynamic:

{$url-lower-limit} to {$url-upper-limit}

This would let you pass through the upper and lower limit as url parameters. E.g. /products/?lower-limit-10&upper-limit=20

Less than or greater than

You can also use standard greater than or less than symbols in the filter value or you can use words. e.g.

> 20
greater than 20

This will return all entries that have a value greater than 20.
