default item sorting in preferences

[liomj]

It is recommended to create following fields:
- tf_date: for sorting items by date it is necessary to have a field, where date of creation/relevant date is stored
- tf_submitter: for sorting items by submitter it is necessary to have a field, where user of creation is stored
- tf_status: for using e.g. functions for broken items you need a 'Select Status'-field

if this is doable i like to suggest add option item sorting in preferences of generated module if we have the above recommended fields

we can define in modulebuilder parameter list which field can be sort and automatically add it in preferences of our module

hi thank you for your suggestion, but I do not think that this make sense:
make preferences for sorting

• in blocks?
• for tables in admin area?
• for index file in user area?
• for detail file in user area?
• sorting by one field or multiple fields?
• ....

IMO this would blow up the module and especially the preferences

yes maybe next time. I see some module have this option like publisher implementing the sort order of the items throughout the module. module-wide
