Hi @iccm,

Which of our applications are you using, and what version? What list do you mean? A screenshot might be useful.

Hi, Alec,

MS-028, Directors. We were asked to change the order, not automatically
arranged alphabetically.

Hi @iccm,

That track directors list doesn’t have ordering capabilities – if you’re interested in the SQL query that generates the list, it’s implemented in classes/conference/TrackDirectorsDAO.inc.php in the getDirectorsByTrackId function:

'SELECT u.* FROM users AS u, track_directors AS e WHERE u.user_id = e.user_id AND e.sched_conf_id = ? AND e.track_id = ? ORDER BY last_name, first_name',

…but there’s nowhere in the application to manually define an ordering for this, so it’s something you’d have to add yourself.
