I need to sort my Dropdown Menus alphabetically

[rudier]

I have a problem as some of my dropdown menus are not srted alphabetically and makes it difficult to get to the required data if the list is long. I there a way to change this order by changing some code or template. Although it seems that the templates will not work in this reagrd.

Hope someone can help me with this problem soon.

Thanks

Can you be more specific as to which drop down menus you are refering to?

[rudier]

Admin CP » Dashboard » Staff » Insert (Group Dropdown)

I am not a PHP coder so won't be able to fully help you but I'll point you in the right direction. Look in includes/functions_staff.php for the following :-

	foreach ($_SWIFT["staffgroupcache"] as $key=>$val)
	{
		$options[$cnt]["title"] = $val["title"];
		$options[$cnt]["value"] = $key;
		$options[$cnt]["selected"] = iif($cnt==0, true, false);
		$cnt++;
	}

All that would be needed would be some way to sort that by the title.

Thanks for the info, but I still can see the fuction to sort by......maybe someone else will know?

Ok, add the following AFTER the code I posted above :-

usort($options, create_function('$a,$b','return strcmp($a["title"],$b["title"]);'));

Hey, thank the PHP guru that works for me, Andrew!

Actually, coming to think of it, shouldn't this be default operation of Kayako?
