Sort on Listview for dropdown lists

[beuten]

Is it possible to sort dropdown lists in the ListView by clicking on the field name (for all modules)?

All tips are welcome!!

Thanks in advance

any ideas on how to do this?

You need to edit the file custom/modules/<ModuleName>/metadata/listviewdefs.php
and add the attribute

 'sortable' => true, 
  

Into dropdown field defs.

Hi,

I have the same problem and I have tried to follow the solution suggested above, but the problem is that the directory does not exist.

I have created a cisutom field and added it in the Projects module and in the list view. The custom field shows up in the list view but does not have the hyperlink for sorting.

When I go to custom/modules/<ModuleName>/ there is no directory called "metadata" and therefore I do not have the file listviewdefs.php to edit it. The only directory that exists under custom/modules/<ModuleName>/ is the 'language' directory.

Have you got any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance.
