Invalid method Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::addAttributeToSort error in Magento

The featured section was working fine until yesterday, but started getting error. We have not made any changes. I searched the forum for similar issue but couldn’t find any. May I know what is causing the issue.

Invalid method Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::addAttributeToSort(Array
(
    [0] => name
    [1] => ASC
)
)

Trace:

This is your problem, like I suspected:

$cat_ = Mage::getModel("catalog/category")->load($id_cat)->addAttributeToSort('name', 'ASC');
$productD = $cat_->getProductCollection();

I think this should be:

$cat_ = Mage::getModel("catalog/category")->load($id_cat);
$productD = $cat_->getProductCollection()->addAttributeToSort('name', 'ASC');
