Restore some module listings

Could you please add the sort option to module_implements() ?

I believe there's a bug in the patch. If $refresh is true, $sorted_list is not initialized.

I hope you don't mind. I have re-rolled the patch with the following changes:

1) fixed the $sort_list issue.
2) implemented the $sort argument in module_implements() as well.
3) Revised usage of this new functionality for filter.module and user.module
4) Ditto for help.module, but included the changes in another issue that I believe cleans the help page a little too.

Please, review.

Due to the replacement of www.drupal.org with drupal.org, the patch does not apply cleanly.

:-(

Just want to propose a simple exercise. Have you tried to find something in admin/access ? Well, this patch would help you a little, sorting modules alphabetically.

I've only partially apllied the patch, omitting most of the user output places. I think that sorting by weight woudl make more sense for example for filters. Setting to active to we can discuss this.

hmmm... if there is a big list of filters, I believe it is easier, from the user point of view, to see the list alphabetically sorted. The order modules are loaded is not important to list available filters, IMO.

...this is the list of available filters. even, if this list is sorted by weight, the filters will be applied in the order the user has selected later.

I don't get why sorting by weight here is important. Could you please elaborate?

OTH, it's more user friendly to scroll the list if it is sorted alphabetically, I think.

So... anyone up to discuss this? :-)

How do you like to see the filters, ordered by weight or alphabetically?

I'll just add that themes do not currently consider weight at all now and although i see a ksort() in the selector form, it doesn;t appear to work right.

What is the purpose of this? Is there any bug or is this a patch for a new feature (allow sort on tables)?

Moving out of the "x.y.z" queue to a real queue.

I can't figure out where this needs to go, so I'm guessing 5.x-dev. Change it if i'm wrong.

$sort parameter have been added to module_list and module_implements. Closing this issue.
