Hi,

if I remember correctly, the tag [loop-field any_field] will access the
products database by default. For an arbitrary database try using:
[data base="settori" field="settore" key="[loop-code]"] instead, or use:
[loop-data settori settore] .

Relevant documentation is:
http://www.minivend.com/minivend/tags/01.26._loop_.html

and

Can't help with sort: insufficient data?

ciao, Frank
