ISSUE SUMMARY: I have seen various support tickets asking for groups to be alphabetical, but they are quite old support tickets so I wanted to ask for a fresh solution.

We would like our Groups to be listed Alphabetically by default, both All Groups and My Groups. On our site Newest Groups is not relevant (which seems to be the case for lots of sites - maybe Alphabetical should be the general default....?)

Having looked at the support tickets, we don't want Newest to load and then Alphabetical load afterwards. We want groups listed alphabetically when you go to that page. But we also don't want a solution that will be lost with upgrades...

Thanks

Hi Susan,

edit:
[joomla site root]/components/com_community/views/groups/view.html.php
at line 542, find this code

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

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

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

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