How can I sent the article manager to always display in date order in the back end? Currently when I open the article manager the list in Section order then category. I know that I can simply press the date button to change the order but it would be much better if I could just login and go straight back to the most recent articles.

I am using Joomla 1.5.20

i'm not sure theres an option for that, but i know there's a module in the control panel of the backend.. right exactly when you login the module "Recent added Articles" is in the right panel.. you can manage to display (enable/disable) any module in the admin control panel in module manager>administrator modules

Yeah I see that module. But I need to set the default in the back end in the article manager to date order. I have other people login to write articles and they all complain about having to reorder the article menu every time they login.

You can do this with a very simple change to the Joomla code.

Open the following file with a text editor (after making a backup copy of it first, of course)

/administrator/components/com_content/controller.php

Look around line 82 for the following line:
Code:
$filter_order = 'section_name';

Change that to:
Code:
$filter_order = 'created desc';

Save your changes (and reupload to your server if necessary).

That changes the default sort order in the article manager to be date order, with the newest articles on the top.

Just a thought after reading some other recent threads on this topic.

You could also do the sort on the "modified" date rather than the created date. That way a recently edited article would also be put near the top of the articles listing.

Leolam: I know that.
But, I do not have the categories linked to a menu, I am manually linking to them. In this situation, the default order will be used whatsoever. What I am asking is, how can I change the default order.. imho this needs some .php file editing just like for the back-end.

Dear jmuehleisen,

Any suggestion on J1.7? I think that Joomla really should have that function in default.

Regards,

I need to set the maximum per page shown in Article Manager. It keeps trying to show all and then i get fatal memory crashes. I want it to default to only show 20. Does anyone know how to accomplish that?

Thank you.

Dear tislynn,
I hope you can change it under Global Configuration - Default List Limit. Good luck!

Cheers!

Is this still apply to Joomla 2.5? I'm just wondering why the Joomla Developer doesn't put the default list to latest article.

Regards,

Just searched this and did not find an answer. Tested myself and this seems to work

administrator/components/com_content/models/articles.php

row 97

Code:
parent::populateState('a.title', 'asc');


-->

Code:
parent::populateState('a.id', 'desc');

This worked perfectly for me in J2.5.8 thank you.

Other options include:

a.id, a.title, a.alias, a.checked_out, a.checked_out_time, a.catid, a.state, a.access, a.created, a.created_by, a.created_by_alias, a.ordering, a.featured, a.language, a.hits

Go nuts...

I thought I had figured out how to use a template override, but now it does not seem to work. I will try to get it right and post the solution if I get it! Sorry for a useless post. ;-)

In J2.5.9 the line to change is 99

....
// List state information.
//parent::populateState('a.title', 'asc');
parent::populateState('a.id', 'desc');
.....

Brilliant ! Thanks - That has been bugging me for years...

Trying to avoid doing a core hack as above, I tried making a template override of administrator/components/com_content/views/articles/tmpl/default.php and saving it to the html/com_content/ inside the admin template folder.

Code:
$listDirn   = $this->escape($this->state->get('list.direction'));
$saveOrder   = $listOrder == 'a.ordering';

to

Code:
$listDirn = "desc";
$saveOrder = "a.created";


but this did not affect the order as I thought it would.

Even if I print_r($saveOrder); it will show the current value. when I changed the ordering, showed the new values, but it does not affect the ordering. I don't know if there are session vars of javascript involved which stops it from using the value I manually added.

In the end I gave up and just did a core hack for now.
