[#2474] Reordering groups

[#2474] Reordering groups was created by saville
Hi- currently on GroupJive2.1, about to upgrade so may be fixed in there, but there doesn't seem to be a way of reordering groups. That is to say, we created the groups for our site in a different order than we now need them to be displayed. We can reorder their respective forums in kunena ok, but the GroupJive panel seems to have them fixed in reverse order of creation. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Mike

EDITED TO ADD: Now upgraded to GJ2.2, and issue is still there.

This is not an issue and completely intentional. Groups do not have ordering and are ordered by their dates as newest first. Only way to change this is edit the core directly and change the order by on the query or edit the dates of the groups via database.

Thanks for your reply. It may be worth a look though for future updates as I can't be the only person that this will effect. In my case, we have a series of numbered groups that must be displayed in a specific order (because they correspond to something external to our site but an official government hierarchy. However, the nature of these is that at some point that order may well change and what should be a 30 second job to click a few arrows up and down by a site admin now becomes a more delicate operation.

Sorry to sound negative. The new GroupJive is a fantastic redesign, so well done one and all.

Groups do not have an ordering, at all. They're order from the date they were created. Only categories have order. I suppose I can implement this feature and give new groups an order of 1 this would still result in newest first, but also allow changing the order respectively. Have added a feature ticket as follows.

For the time being you'll need to manually edit the dates via database to re-order the groups.

This feature is added to GJ2.3, thank you kindly for your hard work, though it doesn't seem to be working on my installation- Joomla 1.5.22.

Strange. I'm using gj2.3 on joomla 1.5.23. and this feature works best. (It was me who was asking for this possibility)
