Provide auto-sort option for admins managing documents
Lynn Haws
For admins managing files on a "Documents" page, provide the ability to auto-sort all documents when editing the order.
ORIGINAL POST:
Need feature to be able to sort documents in a folder alpha-numerically. If folder has multiple documents that need to be loaded in batches of 20 then going back to sort using up and down arrow keys might take longer if documents could simply be sorted by alpha or numeric option.

Provide options for displaying the list of documents on a page, such as by date uploaded or by file name in reverse or normal order

Would like the flexibility to sort the newest documents either on top of or the bottom of the page

Rich Phillips: The feature you suggest would be far more useful to me than the one suggested here, to sort alpha-numerically. I have a folder with all past monthly financials. There is no sort function that would put, for example, ...May 2019, June 2019, July 2019, August 2019... in the correct date sequence, and show them below the months for 2020, and 2021, and 2022. I have them in order now, and the default of moving new documents to the bottom means a VERY TEDIOUS moving of each document upwards. I counted, it takes roughly 90 separate drag and drops to move one year (12 months plus the budget) up to the top, in the order where it belongs.

Include basic sorting by header label (ascending/descending) of files listed on "Documents" pages. The manual option to reorder files doesn't work well for a large number of files.

I would like this feature too,.

Would you please clarify if you'd like this to be a sorting filter available when a member is viewing the page or an auto-sort feature that would sort all documents when an admin is editing the order (which they could then save)?

Meredith Owens: Apologies for not clarifying in request. Selfishly I was looking at this filter option at the admin level to auto sort and save. This possibly could be a nice feature for members however for our association needs, I do not think we would utilize as much at the member level. Thank you! Have a good afternoon!

Lynn Haws: Thank you for taking the time to clarify this request. Adding an auto-sort feature for admins managing documents is something we're open to considering! Therefore, I've dated the post to reflect this.
