Is there any possibility to sort the categories based on a field?

At the moment the only way I see is to insert a number sequence into the name itself as we do here:

What exactly does the code do?

Hi Markus,

The code field is equivalent to a unique identifier, and the code field of each node of these directory categories is not allowed to be duplicated, which is equivalent to the ID field or other unique primary key in the database table.

Also, based on my test results in the test environment, there doesn't seem to be a good way to do a sort at the moment, maybe only by your kind of custom sorting.

Best regards,

Kevin

Hi,

Its built based on FormTreeControl - I think there is no possibility to add a sort order on this through advance filter or sort options.

May be you can consider a customization.
