Sort order of customers.php

[loop]

Hi All
i'm getting crazy about admin customers.php. i want only, that the standard sort_order whenn customers.php is open it should sort for customers_id DESC (so i see the newest registration on top)

On line 118 is: $customers_sql = $customer_data->add_order_by($customers_sql, ['sortable_name']);

whenn i change it to: $customers_sql = $customer_data->add_order_by($customers_sql, ['id'])." DESC"; it works, but that's for sure not the correct way. thank you for pointing me to the right way

['id' => 'DESC']

should do it

or

'date_account_created'

would also work, no?

[loop]

thank you Burt!
yes it works: $customers_sql = $customer_data->add_order_by($customers_sql, ['date_account_created' => 'DESC']);

Found this thread through a search.

Is there a way to sort the order of the customers to newest first in the admin customers list using a hook, rather than changing core code?

Not that I know of, but the order is controlled by the sortable_name customer data module. The default install uses https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/Phoen ... name_2.php but you could install one that used a different sort. The sort order is defined at https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/Phoen ... hp#L61-L65 in the original file.

I.e. create a new cd_sortable_id_desc.php module that implements sortable_name and change the sort function accordingly. Uninstall the current module and install the new module.

S04e03 includes a module that already does this.

@ecartz many thanks. I will have a go tomorrow and will look into the module you suggested.
