Alphabetize column

It would be a tremendous help to have the Modules listed in the left column of the Admin Panel to be alphabetized.

How is that accomplished?

Agreed, However I have reordered mine so that the ones I use most are prioritized at the top for me.  Not sure how/if you can alphabetize.

 I too arrange the admin elements to more suit my needs (e.g. having the "Cache" link on top since it's used so often).

What I was referring to wasn't alphabetizing the admin elements, but listing the modules themselves in alphabetical order instead of the way it is now with the most recently installed at the bottom of the list.

With an older version of Dolphin, a developer I had hired for other things had made that possible. Not just for the mods installed at the time, but subsequent installs were also alphabetized.

His doing this was more of an aside to what he was hired to do, so I was hoping the solution was relatively easy. If it is something more complicated, then it would be worth paying to have it done as it can quickly get frustrating to hunt for a particular mod.

By default, they are simply pulled from the database in the order in which they were installed.  The solution is to sort the list on the name of the module.  Your developer made the query sort on the name.  Send me a PM if you are interested in me doing this work for you.

Thanks, PM sent!

Sorting the Modules alphabetically is as easy as going to...

Admin > Builders >  Admin Menu

/administration/menu_compose_admin.php

and move the modules in the Modules column up or down to where you want them.

It only takes seconds to do.

Then every time you add a new module - as I've just done - go to the Admin Menu and move the new module to its rightful position.

Some devs add colour to the module titles that appear in the Add & Manage list, usually blue or green.

This messes with the alphabetical ordering on that page.

To remove the colour, got to phpMyAdmin or whatever you use to manage your database, and look in the `sys_modules` table. Remove the font tags from the module's title.

Et Voila!

Thanks, TravelNotes!

Thanks for the info on the font tag messing with the order of the modules, I will look at that when I examine the code.
