Sorting files in backend according to category-order

[ThoK]

We are using Joomla 3.6.5 and Phoca Download 3.1.2. There are about 1.200 file entries in about 150 categories.

In Phoca Download FILES Menu (Joomla backend) I want to sort all table entries according to the category order that I established in CATEGORIES.

When choosing Category - Ascending - All in FILES, all items are shown, but they seem to be ordered by category-ID instead of my category order. Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks, Tom

Hi, in backend of Joomla!, you have a filter options to sort the files. Click on head of the column (Title) and your files will be sorted by title descending or ascending

Hi Jan,

I want the table in files to sort all files (unfiltered) by category order and not by file name, category id or category name.

At the top I want all files of my first main category (1), followed by the files of the first subcategory of category 1 (1.1), followed by the files of the second subcategory (1.2.)... followed by the files of my second main category (2)... and so on.

Thanks, Tom

Hi, hmmm, such kind of sorting then must be customized directly in code, but for now no experiences with such kind of sorting, so no clue advices there
