Sortable Table in Manage Files

[Nicola1971]

I think sorting columns in Manage Files is a missing feature: it would be useful to see latest modified files (ie: hacking) and files sizes.

Evo use old tablesort.js library for sorting tables in some manager pages (schedule, messages, view children in documents overview (no more works in 1.3x) )

here you can see all manager pages where is used https://github.com/modxcms/evolution/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=tablesort&type=

this old library does not work properly with complex fields like file sizes (does not understand b, Kb, Mb...), so in the past we (tried but) never used for Manage Files page.

I want to replace tablesort.js with a better library : tablesorter https://github.com/christianbach/tablesorter.

Actually i've only added to manage files and tweaked to work with file size:

what do you think? I continue? :)

@Nicola1971
I changed the sorting as an example here site/manager/#?a=13
If everything suits you, i can easily replace it with what you offer.

View manager logs

Can be replaced in a file manager/actions/files.dynamic.php

[64j]

@Nicola1971 It is advisable to change the script written in native JS

For example, as here https://github.com/tristen/tablesort

nice, but need to check if works with filesize

[64j]

@Nicola1971 No, sorting by file size does not work correctly.(((

[Nicola1971]

@64j
Most of sortable table library does not. I've tested various library but still the same issue with file size.

Suggestion: we can use tablesorter.js just for the file manager and styling like other tables in the manager (and move these tables to native js)

@Nicola1971 Here it works

[Nicola1971]

@64j Yes! :)
https://github.com/tristen/tablesort/blob/gh-pages/src/sorts/tablesort.filesize.js

i'm not a js master, but looks good to me :)

I will check tomorrow, now is like 2am in Italy :)

[Nicola1971]

@64 tested http://tristen.ca/tablesort/demo/ in Manage Files

Pros: works with filesize
Cons: date sort not work properly with Manage Files dates (date + hours)
