What is the best practise way of modifying a query used by the cpanel
Development and Programming
On the “category management” page the sort order of the categories is done in the model (category_model->get_categories) using order_by group_name.
What i would like is for the default sort order to be by group_id instead.
What is the best practise way to go about doing this? I don’t want to hack any core files as i would like this modification to be upgrade safe.
Any advice on the best way to do this would be awesome.
Thank you.
p.s i don’t want to do this with javascript or anything, i would like to do this using php (i can code and stuff but i want to know the right approach to solve this problem within EE)!
Woooooo it’s quiet in here! Crikey! Really? Nobody fancies even imparting a little bit of knowledge on this?
I’m still fairly fresh in the EE dev world, but I’d suspect you’ll need to create an Extension if you want to modify the core without actually altering the core files.
