I can resolve this by editing the *.pref files but I'm wondering if there is an automated way to make this happen. Maybe a JS or something? Created attachment 2201 [details] [review] Proposed fix Adding jquery tablesorter, sorting on sys pref variable by default Pushed patch to new/bug3987_alpha_sysprefs topic branch for further testing and evaluation. I confirm that the patch seems to do what it says it does. I agree that it is desirable to be able to sort the sysprefs by name. However, I am not as sure that alphabetical order should be the default order; a better default order might be to take advantage of the fact that the system preferences can be listed in any order to arrange them in a order that would make sense for a new librarian implementing Koha. Consequently, I am requesting feedback. I have no serious objection to having the order by alpha by default, although I don't think that was necessarily Jesse's intention, so if there is silence on this matter or general agreement that default alpha sorting is preferred, I'll accept a request to merge the branch in a few days. I actually talked to Jesse ages ago and he was starting to alpha them - but didn't get through them all. I do agree that librarians should be allowed to move them around - but I also know librarians love their alpha order :) The new division of categories within tabs makes it easier to find things, but some of those categories are still full of a lot of prefs making it hard to find the one you want without doing a 'find in page' which is what I find myself doing often - that or searching the prefs instead of browsing. Librarians love alpha order - but please remember that Koha is translated in a lot of languages ;) The alphabetic ordering of the English tabs does not work for us. Dynamic sorting using javascript might be a better option here. > The alphabetic ordering of the English tabs does not work for us. Dynamic

This bug and the accompanying patch do not address the order of the navigational tabs. The patch adds Javascript-based table sorting to the list of system preferences. Sorting will be based on your translated preference names.
Thx for the quick comment Owen. :) I have applied this patch and tested it - but I don't see any table sorter options when applied to head ... patch did apply cleanly though. nevermind me - it worked this morning :) Pushed, please test and fix |
