Custom colum sort not working

It’s possible I broke the custom-sort when I made a small change to that section. I will look into this and get back to you. I will think about your second request. I made it as small as possible to accommodate any headings added to the table. You can always add a right-aligned note in your html directly above the search icon. But I’ll think about it. I’m getting ready to release 3.1 with YouTube and Vimeo support for the Flightbox, and I’ll be sure the custom-sort is fixed in that release.

I found your problem! It’s not a bug. Tables always sort first by filename IF directories are enabled. You THINK you have directories disabled, BUCHYADON’T.

The shortcode attribute is binary. If it’s in the shortcode, it’s on. Remove directories="off" from your shortcode and your sort will work.

Manager Mode is Directory Tree Mode+++.

In any directory nav table, the sortfirst is always filename, because the directories have filename data values of “# # # # # Dirname” in order to put them at the top of the table.

I will see if I can fix it so you can sort and still have directories at the top.

OK. I’ve added the hidden sorting data-values for Directories to all the table cells, and updated the javascript that renames the data-values when a directory is renamed (or created). I’ve removed the restriction on initial sorting with Directory Tree Nav/Manager Mode. Be aware that if you’re sorting by Custom Data Ascending and a custom Data field is empty, it will appear above the “Create New Directory” and “Directory” rows, while non-empty custom-data fields will appear on top of them. Vice versa if sorting descending. So the reason I had the restriction was to avoid that sort of thing, at least on initial pageload. Nevertheless, your request will be granted in the next version.
