Where is the FILEs list created when use din some modules to select pages that modules show

[14Steve14]

I am having a problem where on modules where pages can be selected that the file order is not alphabetically. Can anyone tell me where this is created please as I cant find anything so have no idea where to look.

I have attached an image to show what is happening

/includes/system/versioned/1.0.5.6/page_selection.php outputs the list.
The chosen pages are stored in the database in the module settings.

Sounds like you need to sort the files after the construction of the list but before they are output.

Over ride the above file, eg by dropping a copy in /includes/system/override/ (create this folder if needed) and add a sort.

Code: Select all

$files = array_unique($files);
sort($files); // new line of code

$output = Config::select_multiple($files, $values, $key) . '<br>'
          . new Tickable('p_all', ['class' => ' '], 'checkbox') . '&nbsp;' . TEXT_ALL;

In an unmodified new core installation the page list shows already in alphabetic order.

That may be a file system specific behavior. I.e. some file systems may show it alphabetically by default while others have some other order. The DirectoryIterator just takes whatever the file system gives it.

Then Burt's sort addition may be a candidate for core optimization.

I was thinking the same and did also think about adding this to the bug find thing that is currently running, but not sure if its a bug though as it may not affect everyone.

Brilliant. Another job crossed off the very long To Do list before starting on transferring the database across to a new look site. I am sure there will be other questions as I go along.
