[SOLVED] How to sort GroupJive groups in a catergorie alphabetical?

Hi,

The Groups in (a category of) GroupJive are sorted by creation date. So it's difficult to find a group in a long list (without search) and the order in not logical for the end-users.

Wat is the best way to get the groups orderd alphabetical?

Many thanks in advance,
Nico

Sorting is based off the Ordering value. It always adds new groups first. You can manually change the ordering within GJ > Groups. There is no parameter to adjust ordering or anything of the sort. You would need to manually edit the usage in code to change how it orders.

Hi,

Can anybody just give my a hint in which php file or where I should change the sql sort query to get them out of the database sorted on name? It seems to me a fair question to get it sorted by group name.

Many thanks in advance,
Nico

You need to modify the getGroups function of the below file.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgroupjive/cbgroupjive.class.php

The default ordering is set with the $order variable. Aside from that I can not advise you any further as we do not support core edits.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks, that is more than enough info for my to solve this issue.

Kind regards,
Nico

Hi Kyle,

I found out that a better way to sort them is an CB Auto Action that fires a SQL Query on a gj_onAfterCreateGroup event to change the order of the ordering field in the #__groupjive_groups table.

Something like:
So I don't have to do a core edit, and have to say again that I like your Auto Actions
