Hi team,

How can I, preferably via control panel or via overrides, set Jomsocial to display groups in alphabetical order? I need this done for the All Groups/My Groups pages as well as for the Community - Active Groups module.

Thanks,
Andre

Hi Andre,

the changes for this purpose can't do it by using override, must done by core customization. here the steps:
1. edit /components/com_community/views/groups/view.html.php
2. for my groups, line 1485 changing it from

->set('sortings', CFilterBar::getHTML(CRoute::getURI(), $sortItems, 'latest'))

->set('sortings', CFilterBar::getHTML(CRoute::getURI(), $sortItems, 'alphabetical'))

2. for all groups, line 538 changing it from
[code]
->set('sortings', CFilterBar::getHTML(CRoute::getURI(), $sortItems, 'latest'))

->set('sortings', CFilterBar::getHTML(CRoute::getURI(), $sortItems, 'alphabetical'))

. ' ORDER BY ' . $db->quoteName('count') . ' DESC '

. ' ORDER BY ' . $db->quoteName('name') . ' DESC '

Hi Albert,

It worked fine for the module, but there's something missing for the pages;

You will notice on the screenshot awesomescreenshot.com/0383msqf19 that Jomsocial is now loading the page with the Alphabetical tab active, but groups are not being sorted automatically.

Hi Andre,

sorry, I missed something. please edit:
edit /components/com_community/views/groups/view.html.php at line 500 & 1447
changing it from

$sorted = $jinput->get->get('sort', 'latest', 'STRING');

$sorted = $jinput->get->get('sort', 'alphabetical', 'STRING');

Yeah, now is 100%. Thanks!
