If you’re using MODx Evolution 1.0.0 or later, there’s now an "
Edit the TV sort order" option when you open templates for editing, so you can set the TV listing order per template with a drag and drop operation. Go to
Elements > Manage Elements > Templates and select the template; then select the
Assigned Template Variables tab, and you’ll find the "
Edit the TV sort order" link above the list of TVs assigned to that template. Drag, drop and
Save, and there you are!
