Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20963 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: taxonomy.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: tostinni Updated by: darius Status: patch Looks like a nice and very minimal change to taxonomy.module that would finally add some flexibility in displaying nodes. Since this does not change any current functionality, it would be nice to see it committed to the core, so that contributed modules could take advantage of this change. I'm going to play around with this change, and maybe modify taxonomy_context to use this.

I think we could provide such way for each module that make a call to this functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 20, 2005 - 20:44 : nedjo +1 I've long wished to get rid of the hard-coded sort order on nodes in taxonomies. This is similar to a patch I submitted nine months ago, see http://drupal.org/node/10839 [1]. There I tried to provide an interface for setting default sort orders. While this proposal doesn't do that, it opens the door--a bit plus. This is the sort of simple change that helps overcome lingering inflexibility of Drupal design, and that merits quick application. [1] http://drupal.org/node/10839 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 21, 2005 - 14:43 : tostinni Well I remember seeing this patch, but when I posted this, I just forgot about it, sorry. Btw, my aim was just a little diferent because I didn't wanted to hack too much the core, and I needed this feature to be used in taxonomy_menu (in fact my approach may be included at taxonomy level...) to provide a way to order taxonomies by vocabulary (I'd prefer to see this kind of setting made a little more in detail, I mean apply at term level (like my suggestion for ), but for the moment, it pretty fits my needs). So I just release a little patch [2] that update taxonomy_menu to use this order, but the main question stay arround there, why don't apply this to core and make a very flexible way to roder taxonomy ? Let's dream, it would be included in 4.7 :D [2] http://drupal.org/node/21031
