Codeigniter custom routing issue

[eluser]LoganPHP[/eluser]
This is my routes setup code

Code:

$route['general/(:any)'] = "videos/filter/$1/1";
$route['general/(:any)/(:num)'] = "videos/filter/$1/1/$2"; //pagination

Following link works fine.

Code:

www.example.com/general/latest

But below link doesn't work like what i want

Code:

www.example.com/general/latest-trending/5

$route['general/(:any)'] only executes always.

How to solve this issue?

Routes are executed in a first come first serve manner. That means your first route 'general/(:any)' will always be executed no matter if there is any number as third URI argument.

Change the ordering and it should be fixed!

In other words, the more specific routes (more segments) need to come before less specific routes (fewer segments), especially when using wildcards.
