Order problem

[leowolff]

Hello, a task that I thought would really be easy to accomplish is giving me some headache. I am trying to auto-sort by name (first name) the contact sub-panel that appears on account module. I modify the file AccountForAccounts.php located on custom\modules\Contacts\metadata\subpanels , I add the commands:

'sort_order' => 'asc',
'sort_by' => 'first_name',

but it didnt work. Any tips?

Hi Leo

I believe I just figured out your issue!
You need to create an extended layoutdefs for Accounts and set these attributes there.
Remember to Rebuild Extension after accomplish this implementation.
