Hey all,
I'm having a problem with the ordering of custom fields on the "Create a new
ticket" page, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
The order in which the custom fields display on the 'Create Ticket' page bears
no actual relationship to the ordering set with the web-based admin tools.
I verified the SortOrder directly in the DB, and this matches what I see on the
admin config page.
I then did some digging in the source code and traced it to the
/Ticket/Elements/EditCustomFields code and the 'iterator'-like calls to the
$CustomFields->Next function. Seeing that, I tried re-calling the OrderByCols
function of the CustomFields collection in the %INIT block of the
EditCustomFields like so:
$CustomFields->OrderByCols(
{ ALIAS => 'main',
FIELD => 'SortOrder',
ORDER => 'ASC' }
);
Still no dice - the Next iterator is ignoring the SortOrder for no reason I can
fathom, and trying to make a coherent layout is nigh impossible.
Has anyone else seen this, or can suggest a solution or workaround?
FWIW, I'm using RT 3.8.2.
Thanks in advance,
