 Hi,
In the admin panels, I need to set the Default ordering to Date Descending, but it keeps going back to Order Desending.

Can you please advise where I can fix the ordering type.

Please see the screen print to explain what I am talking about.

Thanks

Rich

You can't set another default. But it should keep the sorting for your session. In which cases does the selection jumps back?

Hi,
I have been trying but I cant get this to stay on the changed DATE sorting order - It keeps returning to the ORDER option.

I can't reproduce this both with Joomla 3.3 and Joomla 2.5.20 using Chrome and the default Joomla back end template. If I chose another sorting option from the drop down the ordering of the list changes.

Can you describe your click path please? Are you simply using the sorting selection box and nothing happens?

Hi,
The process is

i) Login to Admin panel (I used Chrome & Firefox)
ii) Select Components - Event Gallery from Dropdown
iii) In Overview section, select Manage Events
iv) Change Order to Date - Leave Descending and 100 entries the same . screen updates accordingly.
v) Go to Overview - when I go back, it still shows as Date descending
vi)Go to another component, then go back to EG Events - still date descending
vii)Logout of admin
viii) Login to Admin panel (I used Chrome & Firefox)
ix) Select Components - Event Gallery from Dropdown
x) In Overview section, select Manage Events
xi) Option is now back to Order --- other options still set to descending 100

Hope this makes sense

The sorting configuration is stored at the session. If you log out those values are dropped too. If you log in again you should see the default sorting like order descending. If your page limit is set to 100 you'll get this value set too. There is nothing I can do here. This is default Joomla behavior.

Hi,
I understand the List Limit is controlled from the Global Configuration setting comes from.
Do you know where the "default sorting in Joomla" comes from, that you are picking up?

There is no setting for the type and the default order. Those settings are set by the component which provides the list. Event Gallery uses "order descending" by default.

Sven,
Can it be added as a Feature Wish that these settings can be applied in the component?

Would be nice if you can avoid it :)
