Order elements in object relations in content/edit

Tuesday 12 October 2010 8:21:01 am

Hi there,

I currently have a class with an "object relations".

But my problem is that : when I'm in content/edit, the list of possible objects is unordered (a single selection dropdown list)

For exemple :

• Mario
• Luigi
• Koopa
• Bowser

Instead of :

• Bowser
• Koopa
• Luigi
• Mario

If the length of the list was small it will doesn't matter... but the list is 300+ elements.

I already tried using sorting method in the folder view (because all the elements are in the same folder) but it has no effects.

And has it is a view inside ez (and not an overrided node), I can't simply alter template.

Is there a way to force elements sorting ? (using code or configuration files)

Thanks in advance,

Damien

Hi,

A kind of solution / to try :

The object relations normally do follow the sort you set in the back office.

So :

1 - Get in the folder / container content of your 300 nodes

2 - Sort those by the criteria you want it to be sort (for example, by class or name)

3 - Go back in your content with the relation attribute

This has to work.
