[Solved by hack] Saving "sorting order of document tree" in manager?

Is there a way to "save" the sorting order of the document tree in manager view? Anytime when I log in I must first again sort the document tree because my requirement is "sorted by menuindex".
Is there a way or can it be included in further versions of modx maybe in configuration settings?

Is there another thread to this question or am I alone with this?

No ... that’s not currently possible but would be handy indeed. (I don’t think it’s possible, anyway.)

Hi,

Not sure about it but have a look to this file => manager/frames/nodes.php around line 73
In makeHTML function
the default params are set by these lines

<?php

// query other documents, set default sort order
        $orderby = "isfolder DESC";//here
        if(isset($_SESSION['tree_sortby']) && isset($_SESSION['tree_sortdir'])) {
            $orderby = $_SESSION['tree_sortby']." ".$_SESSION['tree_sortdir'];
        } else {
            $_SESSION['tree_sortby'] = 'isfolder';//here
            $_SESSION['tree_sortdir'] = 'DESC';//here
        }

:-)

Tried modifying: undecided

"isfolder" to "menuindex"
"DESC" to "ASC"

and ... it works! laugh

Thx for the tip. And now: please give us a parameter in manager configuration to set ordering as personal default.

this suggestion didn’t work correct for me (running 0.9.5. after login to the manager, i first had to reload to display the tree in default order)
i’ve come across a better working solution:
in manager/frames/tree.php line 268 change

new Ajax('index.php?a=1&f=nodes&indent=1&parent=0&expandAll=2', {method: 'get',onComplete:rpcLoadData}).request();

to

new Ajax('index.php?a=1&f=nodes&indent=1&parent=0&expandAll=2&dt=&tree_sortby=menuindex&tree_sortdir=ASC', {method: 'get',onComplete:rpcLoadData}).request();

this js function is executed by body onload and therefore you don’t have to reload the manager first.

btw: there is a ticket(http://modxcms.com/bugs/task/14) for the "Default Tree Sort order"-issue, which is in state "implemented". but as much as i can see, in 0.9.5 and 0.9.6rc3 this behavior isn’t implemented yet. did something gone wrong here?
