Selected Attribute order on Page Properties

Permalink
Am I correct in saying the the order that the Selected Attributes show in the Page Properties ( thats the List on the right side) is by akID.

Even if I move my Attributes around (via Page Attributes) on the All Attributes list ( left side ) the Right side does not change its order to match. I think its necessary to at least have them in the same order to match the left side.

ie. if I create an attribute say car_matt, then another for bike_pedal and then car_visor how will I group the car_matt and car_visor under each other in the Selected Attributes list. This causes confusion for the user.

Hope this makes sense. Have tested this on 5.6.

yea... i have the same issue. At one point, though they were in fact all nice and neatly placed in order - matching the left with the right. I know for a fact that my client is going to say to me "can those be in a different order so that x is grouped with x2?"

I am still diggin but I found this. I HAVEN"t tried it yet and not sure I will but its some info for you.

Hi

Thanks for the link. I am not sure if this fix was related to the column ALL ATTRIBUTES in the Page Properties>Custom attributes which is now sortable through Page Attributes in the dashboard.

I did point out the problem of the SELECTED ATTRIBUTES column in one of the Totally Random sessions but it was just brushed aside.

As a workaround I have to export the DB and alter the xml then re feed back into a new DB which is a total pain. Perhaps it will be fixed one day.

Agreed, this needs to be sorted as its also not pleasing my customer.
