Guidelines for showing field from another module

[Antanas0001]

Hello,

We have custom module Partners and a field "Partner name". Partner module has also field "Account Name" of data type "Relate" which relates to Account module.
We would like to display a "Partner name" field inside module Accounts module ListView. Also we would like to search by "Partner name" in Accounts module, so that Account ListView gets filtered by "Partner name" . And do sorting by "Partner name" column in Accounts module ListView. Do you have some guidelines how to accomplish all this?

Sincerely,
Antanas

The developer site has info and coding on how to do this.
There are several changes you can make via the custom directory to add these fields to the listview and make them sortable. The view.inc.php (if I remember right!) and other filoes control the behaviour of the views. Make sure you make changes int he custom directory not in the modules directory! that way they are upgrade safe.

Also, what version of Sugar are you using? Make sure to include that info when asking these types of questions, different versions have slightly differnt behaviors and that can make a big difference in how to fix.
