Sort dashboards in a custom or pre-defined order?

Hi,

I’ve created several dashboards and I would like to sort them in a
particular way (alphabetical or other).

However, it seems that by default, they are sorted by creation (by
their unique ID).

So, for instance, I have the following dashboards:
[ID #1] A
[ID #2] B
[ID #3] D
[ID #4] F
[ID #5] E
[ID #6] G
[ID #7] C

When they are shown, they are shown in that order. Now, I’d like to
sort them in alphabetical order or in a custom way, regardless of
their ID.

How would I go about that ? I’ve looked around the interface itself,
the documentation, the wiki and the list but could not find relevant
information about this.

Thanks !

there is no configuration for this, you have to modify
share/html/Dashboards/index.html:

line like this:

Dashboards => [sort { $a->Id <=> $b->Id } @{ $dashboards->{personal} || }],

you can replace $a->Id with $a->Name for example.

see “perldoc -f sort” for more informations on sort order.

I just added a MassageDashboards callback to
share/html/Dashboards/index.html so in future versions of RT, users will
not have to edit the template. See commit 0c6959ab9ad.

I tried to edit a local copy (copied /share/html/Dashboards/index.html
to /local/html/Dashboards/) to no avail.
I tried to edit the principal copy under
/share/html/Dashboards/index.html but it doesn’t seem to work either.

Am I doing something wrong ?
Can you get sort by Name (rather than ID) to work on your end ?
