orderBy problem

[dekleinemedia]

Hi, i have the following issue of which i hope someone can help me with;

I want to use the functions orderBy for the ListView of my module "ProjectTask".
Now i want the field 'Project Task Id' to be ordered Ascending.

I have created a file view.list.php in this folder custom\modules\ProjectTask\views but this doesn't seems to work...

This file containts the following code;

 <?php

// Order by function

require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php');

class ProjectTaskViewList extends ViewList {

  function ProjectTaskViewList() 
  { 
    parent::ViewList(); 
  } 
    
  function listViewPrepare() 
  { 
    if(empty($_REQUEST['orderBy'])) 
    { 
      $_REQUEST['orderBy'] = 'project_task_id';  
      $_REQUEST['sortOrder'] = 'asc'; 
    }  
    parent::listViewPrepare();  
  }
  
// Remove the Advanced Search tab from form

  function processSearchForm() 
  {
    $args = func_get_args();
    
    unset($this->searchForm->tabs[1]);
    $this->searchForm->nbTabs = sizeof($this->searchForm->tabs);
    call_user_func_array
    (
    array
    ('parent', __FUNCTION__), $args);
  }
}
?>  

See screenshot for more info.

Hope someone can help me with this one. Thanks in advance!

This is weird, I took your code and I tried in my instance... and it is working and I didn't change anything.
Do you have enabled the developer mode?
I tried also with desc sortOrder to know if it was working... I attach the two cases in screenshot

Hi Elisabeth,

Thanks for your reply and suggestions.
I had enabled Developer Mode so that couldn't be the issue. But now when i remove the view.list.php from the custom ProjectTask folder and Repair and Rebuild this, I still see that it is sort by Project Name. How is that possible when I removed the view.list.php file? Again, thanks for your help!

did you removed or modified the view.list.php that is in modules/ProjectTask/views ?

No, I removed the custom view.list.php from custom\modules\ProjectTask\views and have Repaired and Rebuild several times, but it still sorts by Project Name. Strange isn't it?

to this actions you really don't need to repair...
I think you pressed in one moment to order by name and it is still selected... to clear that selection just press clear in the search panel.

Hope this helps... your code was good, this is the only thing I can think it is causing the ordering

Great thanks!
