Order by in admin

Submitted by MikeyC on Sun, 2007-11-25 15:39 in

Hi David,

Is there any way that i can get the feeds organized in the admin area ?

I am using about 6 affiliate networks with in total some 79 feeds from different merchants (more are added constantly)

Want to order my feeds, perhaps even add in a extra columns with the affiliate network name and the merchant name in it, so í can get a better overview of my feeds in the administration area.
Would be nice too, if i can sort the columns.

Hi Mikey,

The feed list is currently displayed in the order returned by PHP's readdir() function as it scans the directory, and the order of this is not determined. As a pre-cursor to adding more complex sorting, have a look at the following thread which shows how to make the list alphabetically sorted...

One hint that I can offer going forward (although admittedly it would be quite a bit of work to change it all for this site unless you can easily edit the feeds table), is to name feeds based on the affiliate network. For example, all my feeds from Affiliate Window being with aw_ whereas all my feeds from Tradedoubler begin td_. On most Linux servers, the readir() function will return an alphabetical list (the above mod was for a user where this was not the case) so doing this keeps the same network's feeds together...

Cheers,
David.
