Table Entity Order changed in 5.1.60

Hi there,

I hope this message finds everyone well!

I just upgraded to 5.1.60 (from a previous 5.1.x build) and immediately noticed that the order of tables on screen changed.

Previously it was 1,2,3,4,5 etc but now is 1,10,11,12 etc

Is this a bug? If so, is it known and is there a simple solution? I had a play around with settings but couldn’t see anything obvious. Under ‘Entities’ in Manage they still show in the correct order.

Thanks for any help that can be offered!

Either manual sort or change 1 to 01 etc.
Pretty sure that the order would always have been like that and you manual sorted before, I know I purposfully always name my table 01, 02, 03 etc, its a common sorting quirk seen in may things (look at the first numbers :slight_smile: )

Do you mind clarifying how to manually sort please? I didn’t see that option when browsing around. Thank you!

I would imagine this has to do with the fact that Entities used to be listed in the order in which they were created, and there was a request (by me) to have them listed alphabetically.

This works well for Customer Entities for example when you set the State Filter to *, then you don’t need to populate the Entity List, and when you create a new Customer, it is automatically added to an Entity Grid.

As for Tables, JTRTech offers the best solution… prefix your table numbers with a 0 if they are less than 10 and they will be listed as you would expect (still, alphabetically).

You cannot. There is no sorting feature for Entities.

JTRTech solution has worked perfectly.

Thank you to you both!
