The sort of pages in Backend

[geggal]

Hello,

when I have some pages added, the sort of the pages in Backend confuses me a little bit. Is it possible to change it to sort by menupriority? Maybe can I hack the pages.php for my own needs?

Thanks for your answer!

you would have to end up hacking pages.php like you mention in order to do that. Change lines 42-48 from

Code:

if ($data->parent != '') {
    $parentdata = getXML($path . $data->parent .'.xml');
    $parentTitle = $parentdata->title;
    $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $parentTitle .' '. $data->title;
} else {
    $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $data->title;
}

to

Code:

$pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $data->menuOrder;

Thank you for your help. You are true with your solution, but: If I do it like that, the subpages also are ordered by the menuOrder numbers. It should inside the same ordering like outside - like a tree. Is this possible?

Untested:

Code:

if ($data->parent != '') {
    $parentdata = getXML($path . $data->parent .'.xml');
    $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $parentdata->menuOrder .' '. $data->menuOrder;
} else {
    $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $data->menuOrder;
}
