Hi Lars

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I am not sure I will implement it because I think I will remove categories layout in future releases. That's because from version 1.0.4, we won't need to categories layout again. Just use category layout and it will display all subcategories and documents from a category. That's much better !

Regards,

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

me again....I changed to category view only now. But I have a similar problem. It would be nice to sort the categories also and not just the documents ;)

thanks and regards,

Lars

Hi

The sub-categories are sorting by ordering by default. For now, if you want to change it, you will need to modify the code yourself. The file is components/com_edocman/models/category.php, in the getCategories function, find the code below :
Code:
$query = 'SELECT a.* ' . ' FROM #__edocman_categories AS a ' . ' WHERE '.implode(' AND ', $where) . ' ORDER BY a.ordering ' ;

See the ORDER BY a.ordering in the code, change a.ordering to the field you want .

Regards,

Tuan
