Description
I've activated the Tax DSS module in the content area and liked the navigation very intuitive. It's a cool module.
However, I cloned and override the default "taxonomy/term" view to customize the way nodes are listed. I want them to appear as a table listing and alphabetically sorted. But nothing worked.
I've not been able to make it work, nor finding any help or pending/archived issue about this.
Am I doing sthg wrong? Can this be done?
If it's not possible, I would like to contribute/add this feature myself, since I know PHP.
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe this is possible out of the box as this module doesn't change any of the underlying functionality of taxonomy.
A contrib module would be welcome, and if it's good we can package it with Taxonomy DSS.

I'm interested on coding it, but I've never coded before for Drupal. Although I can program in PHP, I don't have a clue of where to start coding.
A little advice on where to start would be helpful, and I would love to help improve this module.
Thanks.

Amontero, thanks for the offer of help.
The way I would start is by going to the module developers guide: http://drupal.org/node/508
Here's a howto on creating modules: http://drupal.org/node/82920
Here is the drupal api: http://api.drupal.org/api/5
Other than that, looks at existing modules and try and figure them out.
For views, the documentation is a little tough to grasp, but you can find it here: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views
There is also always the #drupal irc channel.

Hello,
I'm facing similar issue, i have 12 nodes with one term and when i browse to term page it show 10 listing of node and it creates pager for remaining nodes. Is there any way to increase the number of node listing per pager?
I have Drupal 5.12 with Views (latest) and Taxonomy DSS 5.x-1.0. I have View installed but no View is enabled right now. all are in disabled mode.
Thanks and Regards,
Vaibhav
