Default sort order: Class identifier -> Why that?

Marco Zinn	Wednesday 15 August 2007 12:06:47 pm Hi, i saw in a 3.9.2 install (out of the box, webmin design), that the default sort order of i.e the "article (main page)" class seems to be based on the "class identifier", which i find very useless. More than that, i will mostly result in an undefined order of the children (when all are of the same class) AND creates problems in navigation (main / sub pages of articles or galleries / images). When i view the class in admin, i see, that the default children sort order should be "path / ascending"... but the actual object seems to have another order. The object was created on the user siteaccess with the editor toolbar. I guess, it's a bug when creating a an object from the user site. Can somebody please comment on this? Also, can somebody point me to the docs on the sort orders? I mean: what will sorting the children by "path" do? Isn't it the same as sorting by 'name'? Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
Björn Dieding@xrow.de	Wednesday 15 August 2007 7:07:54 pm Without knowing i would take a guess: name is related to contentobject.name path to contentobject_tree.path_identification_string I would expect that the result would highly differ, if you would get all children by mainnode only and if children would have multiple nodes per contect. Other then that it is more or less the same.

Thursday 16 August 2007 5:52:53 am This should be reported as a bug, default sorting for most classes should be published descending, and classes like frontpage should use priority descending imho.. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Marco Zinn	Thursday 16 August 2007 9:15:31 am Can somebody please try and confirm (or deny) this with a new (unaltered) 3.9.2 installation? I'll file a bug report then. @Björn: Yes, i thought of something like that, too. But -with standard templates- it does not make sense to me at all. Well... sorting by Class identifier or name does not make (much) sense to me either ;) Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 16 August 2007 2:33:36 pm This problem is in eZ Publish for sometime. Default sorting should be as AR suggested, for most classes based on publication date. Sorting by content class ID is handy in admin interface where on subtree/folder contains lots of objects different classes. Default sorting should be changed. Feel free to fill up bug report about it. Reg. to "article (main page)", this class uses sorting by "priority" and editor need to take care about it. As front end editing interface is limited this must be set in admin interface. Of course ideally would be have that sorting pre-configured by default.
