Possible to sort attachments by name?

Is it possible to sort attachments by name?

This would solve a problem for me :-)

Thanks for any help!

yes, you could probably sort it via jquery or js as one solution, if you wanted to research it and write yourself a mod.

although probably faster to sort via php upon discussion display.

I don't think I've got the skills to mod the plugin myself.

I was hoping there might be a "sort" option somewhere in the plugin that I'm missing, but I don't see anything obvious.

peregrine

you could change the FileUpload/views/link_files.php ands sort there as well.

replace FileUpload/views/link_files.php with the unzipped version of attachment below.

if it works for you awesome, let me know.

here is a mod for vanilla 2.0.18.10 of the plugin 1.5.2 downloadable

if not .. oh well.

and click awesome, do not accept this as best answer - otherwise this zip file will disappear.
to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

my final answer.

modify  FileUpload/views/link_files.php  change line 5

from

 foreach ($this->Data('CommentMediaList') as $Media) {




to the following -  insert the following lines.... with line 5 comented as below.


   $newarray = array();
         foreach ($this->Data('CommentMediaList') as $Media) {
               $name     =      htmlspecialchars($Media->Name);
               $newarray[$name] = $Media;
               }

           ksort($newarray);  // change attachment order to alpha sort.
           foreach ($newarray as $Media) {  
           // foreach ($this->Data('CommentMediaList') as $Media) {
