How to make Main Page of Downloads Section sort by Download Title?

Try changing location at all in downloads / downloads.php:


edit:


I have not tried it!

Did you try this reply?, https://www.php-fusion.co.uk/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=38949&pid=209907#post_204022

Yes I did but it didn't seem to work for me hence asking @sitename101 what his configuration changes were?

My query was aimed at the category name ordering and not the download titles within the categories.

@Falk ehm GROUP BY .. his "solution" will never work.

Change dc.download_cat_sorting to d.download_title

@RobiNN - Thanks very much for that. It definitely solves one problem in that downloads are now sorted alphabetically in the main downloads view which is brilliant.

However, my main issue is around the categories themselves which do not display in alphabetic order but in ID order.

For example I created a top level category and underneath I created three sub-categories so it looks like this:
Commodore (cat_id=2)
>Zzap! 64 (cat_id=13)
>Vic Computing (cat_id=38)
>Amiga Action (cat_id=120)

I want these sub-categories to sort alphabetically rather than by ID number.

I was thinking it might be something editable in downloads/admin/downloads_cats.php but I freely admit to being a total noob so might be barking up the wrong tree by a country mile.

I do think in a subsequent revision it would be really great if the option to sort categories is in the admin interface the same way that you can select ordering of files within the categories.

Note that this is not the best solution and can be done at theme level (without core editing), but I don't have time to write code for you.

Many thanks!! I will make a backup copy of the file in question and give it a go!!
It's very much appreciated your taking the time to look into this for me!!

UPDATE: It worked perfectly. Thank you!!

Hi @RobiNN

I have just upgraded the site to 9.10.11 and found the categories ordered by category number rather than alphabetically after the upgrade. I thought I'd just edit the Functions.php file again but this file no longer appears at all in downloads/classes directory.

Has this file been superseded by another file under the new version of PHP-Fusion?
