AttachListSort

Questions answered by this recipe

• Is there a way to sort the attachlist?

Description

This recipe allows you to sort the attachlist via name and/or date/time and/or size and/or file type.

Syntax is easy:

   (:attachlist sort=name:)
   (:attachlist sort=type:)
   (:attachlist sort=date:)
   (:attachlist sort=size:)
   (:attachlist sort=time:) - sorting by time same as sorting by date
   (:attachlist sort=ext:)  - same as "type"

   (:attachlist sort=ascendingname:) - ascending is default direction
   (:attachlist sort=ascendingtype:)
   (:attachlist sort=ascendingdate:)
   (:attachlist sort=ascendingsize:)
   (:attachlist sort=ascendingtime:)
   (:attachlist sort=ascendingext:)

   (:attachlist sort=descendingname:)
   (:attachlist sort=descendingtype:)
   (:attachlist sort=descendingdate:)
   (:attachlist sort=descendingsize:)
   (:attachlist sort=descendingtime:)
   (:attachlist sort=descendingext:)

   (:attachlist sort=date ext=jpg:) sort just the jpg files

Multi-Sort

The left most parameter value has precedence when using sort.

   (:attachlist sort="date size":) - Sort list by dates which are sorted by size
   (:attachlist sort="type,size":) - Sort list by types which are sorted by size

   (:attachlist sort="name type date size":) - default sort

Case-insensitive name-sorting

By default, the sort method by name IS SENSITIVE to case. That means all filenames where the first letter is capitalized will come before all filenames with a lowercase first letter. To have the files be sorted alphabetically irrelevant of case, go into the given AttachListSort.php and replace all instances of $namelist with array_map('strtolower', $namelist) .

The filename's capitalization will still be shown in the attachment list - it just won't be used for sorting purposes if you make this change.
