How to sort out the admin configuration menu order

[kittmaster]

All the other sub menus can be reordered by the column_left or by the boxes data.

 

I see that the entire configuration menu list order is done by the database. Is there a contrib or an easy way to find the keys for the config ID value and have it reorder based on what the site operator wants?

 

I can't find anything on this issue anywhere.

 

Anyone?

sure, very easily ...

 

this is the config group table, see the sorting column?

 

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS configuration_group;
CREATE TABLE configuration_group (
 configuration_group_id int NOT NULL auto_increment,
 configuration_group_title varchar(64) NOT NULL,
 configuration_group_description varchar(255) NOT NULL,
 sort_order int(5) NULL,
 visible int(1) DEFAULT '1' NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (configuration_group_id)
);

 

this is how the config key groups are called in admin/configuration.php

  $configuration_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_value, use_function from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_group_id = '" . (int)$gID . "' order by sort_order");

 

sorted by the sort order ...

on default install, the configuration group id is identical with the sorting

 

INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('1', 'My Store', 'General information about my store', '1', '1');

 

open phpmyadmin, and just edit sorting :-)

Worked perfectly, kind of a PITA, but perfect

 

Thanks for the help
