Hello MrDev,
You can use a hidden field with a sort order that is before your Text/HTML field, be sure both short names of your Text/HTML and your hidden field is the same.
Then you can go to Module Configuration-> Initial SQL Rendering/Bind and extract the value from your data table. Make sure the the name of the hidden field and Text/HTML field has the same short name as the column you are extracting the data from.
Another solution is to purchase our Module
Tailored Text/HTML module which can do exactly what you are trying to acheive with this Text/HTML field.
You may want to check out our
Demo 31, for it uses hidden fields for Initial SQL binding.
Please let me know if any of these solutions help you.
Thanks,
Ryan
