[getResources]: Sort output order of resource IDs like input order AKA keep the sequence alive

[mindeffects]

Problem Once in a while I use getResources with a specific order of IDs, like for "show me related items which are stored in a TV as a comma separated list". The input order &resources=34,22,108``represents the importants of the resources, so the output should have this order to. But getResources is a little bitchy on that.

Fix In getResources this is possible to do with a trick: &sortby=FIELD(modResource.id, 34,22,108 )`` But this means that you have to double the ID list for "&resources" and "&sortby". Not that hard but also not really elegant.

Enhancement Creating a sort option like &sortby=resources`` which uses the "&resources"-IDs for the sorting.

We are going to start with this:)

Fixed and PR Jason's repository https://github.com/opengeek/getResources/pull/97;)

Now you can use it like this: [[!getResources? &resources=4,3,2,5&sortby=resources&tpl=tpl.item]] OR [[!getResources? &resources=4,3,2,5&sortby={"resources":"DESC"}&tpl=tpl.item]]
