Hi Scribu,
I have seen the documentation (thanks for that) and while trying to upgrade the funtion to the new way of doing things I’m running into a problem.
I have a single custom post type that relates to multiple other post types. If I do this:
```
$my_connection_type = p2p_register_connection_type( array(
  'from' => 'series',
  'to' => array( 'post', 'page' )
  'sortable' => '_order'
) );
```
I don’t get anything on an interface in the custom post.
Doing it the old fashion way:
```
$my_connection_type = p2p_register_connection_type( array(
        'from' => 'post',
        'to' => 'series'
	'sortable' => '_order'

    ) );
    $my_connection_type = p2p_register_connection_type( array(
        'from' => 'page',
        'to' => 'series',
	'sortable' => '_order'
    ) );
```
Everything is ok.

The main reason for me to change was to get the new sortable functionality.

thanks in advance

Sorry,
One additional thing…the series type is related to itself:
```
$my_connection_type = p2p_register_connection_type( array(
  'from' => 'series',
  'to' => array('series','post', 'page' )
  'sortable' => '_order'
) );
```
thanks

One additional thing…the series type is related to itself:

Those kinds of connection types don’t support ordering.

If you connect serie-a to serie-b, then serie-b is automatically connected to serie-a, which would make the ordering meaningless.

Hi Scribu,
What about the syntax in my first post? Is that possible?

As for making sense, I think it has.
For example, you might have product-a related to product-b and product-c. Whereas product-b might be related to product-a, but also product-x. In other words, they are not reciprocal.
This means that you might be interested in setting an order…

thanks

Yep, this works for me:
```
function init_my_stuff() {
	global $my_connection_type;

	register_post_type( 'series', array(
		'label' => 'Series',
		'public' => true
	) );

	$my_connection_type = p2p_register_connection_type( array(
		'from' => 'series',
		'to' => array( 'post', 'page' ),
		'sortable' => '_order'
	) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'init_my_stuff' );
```
