Why are entries in CP not sortable alphabetically?

    Hi,

    as far as I can see, the entries in the CP are ordered by date of creation (in descending order). Why is it not possible to sort them in another forms? For many occasions, I’d say, that if the entries are being ordered alphabetically would make much more sens - and would be much more user-friendly.

    At least one should have the choice to sort it however one likes it, no?

    Thanks for any clarification.

    EDIT: Ok, just found out that when using the Filter options, one can sort them in that manner. But this is rather “complicated”. Would be much more logic to be able to sort it by clicking on “Title”, “Date”, “Weblog”...

    Hi Stef,

    If you click on the ‘order’ drop down and then choose Alphabetical it should do what you need?

    Hope this helps.

    Best wishes,

    Mark

    Hi Stef,

    Sorry just noticed your EDIT on the post above. I posted too quickly!! 😊

    Do you mean to be able to click on the column names in the table. Would be a very nice addition. Not too sure how hard that would be to implement though?
    Maybe a good place to either ask in the extensions forum to see if anyone can help out there or put in a feature request?


    Regards,

    Mark
