Hi Sergey,

I could not understand how to sort the plans on this page. As far as I understood, they are sorted alphabetically according to the group name. Is it possible to sort these plans according to group order defined on groups page?

sort-order

Maybe a template/display issue? I can`t see the small sorting-order icons (arrows) in your screenshot. As far as I can tell, it works as it should.

  • First order is by GROUP.
  • Second order is by the PLAN
    (you have to CLICK manual oder column first, works for me except for changing ASC/DESC)
  • Changes are saved immediately. Frontend reload displays the new order accordingly.

Hi pepperstreet, I can only do the sorting between the plans that belong to the same group. But I cannot change the ordering of the groups on tis page. On the screenshot that you uploaded, can you place group 2 items below group one items? Alphabetically group 2 comes before group one so it automatically sorts on top.

Yes, that is the right behavior. It works like any other drag'N'drop action in Joomla. It is a core feature.
Actually, it would not make any sense to move a plan between different groups. (It is not a feature to apply a group, it is just about ordering the single items.

Pepperstreet, we could not undertand each other well. When I sort the groups, the plan will come to the right place as I have marked with red above. What I say is, the current group sorting is alphabetical. What I want is to sort the plan groups according to the sort order in the group settings page. Here I have no option to change the group order. It seems like I want to sort the plan, but actually I want to sort the groups.

Shortly: I want the groups to be sorted as the sort order in the group settings. Not alphabetical.

pepperstreet * First order is by GROUP.
* Second order is by the PLAN

First order is by GROUP (alphabetical)

What I want is: First order is by GROUP (according to group order in the group settings)

Isn't it more logical?

hakana First order is by GROUP (alphabetical)

I see. Did not notice that it always reverts to Group (alphabetical) in backend.
I focused separately on both backend lists, and checked the frontend result.

hakana First order is by GROUP (alphabetical)> Isn't it more logical?

Maybe yes. If it would take that manual Group Order as a basis.

In most cases the up/down arrows represent ASC/DESC for alphabetical order. Only the DragNDrop column is a special order. But the group column is no DragNDrop column in the plans list ;)

Mayba @Sergey can tell his opinion... and if it is a simple task to have the manual order as the default for that column.
