Sorting file listings does not work

okay so you made a new ticket :)

In the previous one I was asking if you have the same problem with integer fields (like dates)

.

Hi Yoran,

I just want to confirm ASB's issue.

When I tried to set default_sort to display name or description - it does not do anything at all.
I can't see any arrow up or down besides the header.

However if you click on Display_Name header then it will sort it for you.

I tested on Modified date as well.
When I select Modified date as default - nothing is sorted as well, until you click on the header.

Thanks again.

Hi Yoran,

I confirm also: default_sort setting for Modified date doesn't work too, still it is possible to click on its header to sort tha table as well.

Thanks a lot

I get the following errors when clicking on the sort filename. The filenames all start with numbers (the date). Can we make a checkbox to remove the sort capability (or limit by field)? I am using sorttable.js in another section of the site (http://fallsbc.org/Sermons). There I have full control over how each column is sorted... notice it even sort the Bible passage correctly as well as the file sizes, dates and other text fields.

Benlotter,

Your errors come from an another issue: #841372: usort() Invalid comparison function
There's a patch available here: http://drupal.org/node/841372#comment-3396542

I had the same problem and I've solved it by adding this line

...
$table_sort['sql'] = str_replace('-', '_', $table_sort['sql']);
...

in filebrowser.theme.inc before

...
// Sort files according to correct column.
    if ($table_sort['sql']) {
      usort($just_folders, "_filebrowser_sorter_" . $table_sort['sql']);
      if ($table_sort['sort'] == 'asc') {
        $just_folders = array_reverse($just_folders, TRUE);
      }
      usort($just_files, "_filebrowser_sorter_" . $table_sort['sql']);
      if ($table_sort['sort'] == 'asc') {
        $just_files = array_reverse($just_files, TRUE);
      }
...

[edit] I must specify that this was just a quick hack to get the sort working. I haven't investigate why this is happening. [/edit]

#7 works for me. thanks!

$table_sort['sql'] = str_replace('-', '_', $table_sort['sql']);

also worked for me and got rid of the error. Thanks! -Andrea

Work for me too

Thanks !

Any news about the problem that default sorting doesn't work? (Post #2, #3, #4)

Optimized patch.

Did you try the dev version our the last RC version (this ticket is marked 6.x-2.x-dev, that's why I ask). Normally this bug is gone by using php create_function instead of using static sorters.

Well no news, I assume it's ok
