Title: If merging two sections from different locales how do I then sort them by a shared criteria?
ThreadText: # If merging two sections from different locales how do I then sort them by a shared criteria?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-04-01)
  
  I've got a site with multiple locales and I want to merge together content from across these locales, eg News.
  
  The two sections share the same fields so should theoretically be able to be sorted by a shared criteria.
  
  Looking at the post at [How do I sort a collection of entries from multiple sections by date?](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/12522/how-do-i-sort-a-collection-of-entries-from-multiple-sections-by-date) I can merge these both into a single array but when I try to post the `ids` from these into a new query (to sort the results) only one set of results are returned.
  
  Sample code:
  
  ```
  {% set ids = craft.entries.section('news' ~ Section).relatedTo(active).ids() %}
  {% set mergeIds = craft.entries.section('newsAlumni').status(null).locale('prior_alum').search('shareNewsAlumni:1').localeEnabled(false).ids() %}
  {% set ids = ids|merge(mergeIds) %}
  
  {% set news = craft.entries.id(ids).localeEnabled(false).status(null).order(['stickyNews desc','postDate desc']).ids() %}
  
  ```
  
  If I dump the results of `ids` I get:
  
  ```
  295484 | 3747 | 1787 | 1783 | 1781 | 1778 | 638 | 636 | 640 | 295486
  
  ```
  
  295486 being the entry from `mergeIds` being returned.
  However, if I dump the results of `news` I get:
  
  ```
  295484 | 3747 | 1787 | 1783 | 1781 | 1778 | 638 | 636 | 640
  
  ```
  
  Leaving out the result from `mergeIds`.
  Any thoughts on why the entries from `mergeIds` are not being included in the resulting `news` object?

  With that last `{% set news = craft.entries.id(ids) %}` criteria model you're querying in one locale only
  and there's no way to change that, Craft doesn't have a feature to set up a criteria model to query in multiple locales.
  
  You'd have to merge the entry models themselves and use something like the [Super Sort plugin](https://topshelfcraft.com/lagniappe/supersort) to bring them in order.
  
  ```
  {% set entriesA = craft.entries.section('news' ~ Section).relatedTo(active).ids() %}
  {% set entriesB = craft.entries.section('newsAlumni').status(null).locale('prior_alum').search('shareNewsAlumni:1').localeEnabled(false).ids() %}
  {% set entries = entriesA|merge(entriesB) %}
  
  {% set entries = entries|supersort('sortAs', '{postDate}')|reverse %}
  {% set entries = entries|supersort('sortAs', '{stickyNews}') %}
  
  ```
