User list sorting of results

Hi,

Is it possible to sort the userlist results according to some hierarchy in Joomla (ACL) `usergroups` table?

As far as I can understand I can only sort by cb tables, correct?

Thanks

For the Basic sorting yes you can only sort by CB fields. For Advanced sorting you can supply your own SQL to sort by. The usergroup table in most cases however is not joined to the query and is handled entirely in a fast indexed subquery so you likely will not be able to sort by it without providing the full subquery for the usergroup table.

Hi krileon,

As far as I understand you say that it is possible but with the proper syntax, correct?

I tried this (SELECT `id` FROM `#__usergroups` WHERE `id` BETWEEN '10' AND '23' ORDER BY `id` DESC) but I get error

1242 Subquery returns more than 1 row.

So since it is normal and expected to return more than 1 row, why am I getting this error


Thanks

Your subquery can indeed return more than 1 row. You also didn't make the subquery specific to any given user row. You'll need to of course write your subquery to limit the results to 1 encase a user does have more than 1 usergroup. Joining usergroups to the userlist table is inefficient which is why we don't do it anymore as it'd cause a result set of a million users to take 10x as long. It's also an invisible metric to be sorting users by so doesn't really benefit users much.

Ok krileon,

I think you are right... I will try to work it out another way.
Maybe I'll use a field at registration stage and then sort the user list according to this field. Much easier!

Thanks for your help!
