Description Barbara Johnson 2024-03-22 16:37:49 UTC
On the Point of Sale page at pay.pl the configure button takes you to the table settings for the invoices table. It would be helpful if those settings also allowed staff to set a default sort order by either code or description.

Our use case is as follows: Our Library sells items for the Library, the Friends group and the Library Foundation. As a consequence, we have 30 different types of items that can be sold via the POS system. 

Our codes mirror the fund codes that are used by our Finance office which is necessary for making our daily deposits to the City. We assigned more easily identifiable descriptions for the items so that staff would be able to use the POS system efficiently at a very busy Information Desk. We purposely named the most used items so that they would sort alphabetically at the top of the list. But the default sort order for the table is by code not description. So it would be very helpful to us to be able to set the default sort order in the table settings.
