lt( )

Refines a filter to match items whose specified property value is less than the specified value.

The lt() function refines a WixDataFilter to only match items where the value of the specified property is less than the specified value.

It only matches values of the same type. For example, a number value stored as a String type does not match the same number stored as a Number type.

If a property contains a number as a String, that value will be compared alphabetically and not numerically. Items that do not have a value for the specified property are ranked lowest.

The following types of properties can be compared:

• Number: Compares numerically.
• Date: Compares JavaScript Date objects.
• String: Compares lexicographically, so "Text" is less than "text".
• Reference: Compares by the ID of the referenced item as a String.
