Re: [support] Re-ordering roles on access control page?
What I do is copy the names of the roles into notepad2, size it to cover the roles on the page, and set it to stay on top. That provides a static header. Hacky, but it works. :) Michelle On 11/19/2007 3:13:32 PM, Roy Smith (roy@panix.com) wrote:
I know this is a slightly trivial thing, but is there any way to re-order the columns in the access control page (admin/user/access)? They come out in order "administrator", "anonymous", "authenticated" (are they just alphabetized?). This makes it a little confusing, since they are not sorted in order of most to least privileged.
The problem is compounded because the column heads are only shown at the top of the page. When it scrolls off the top of the visible area, you're left looking at a bunch of checkboxes with no visible labels and no logical ordering. This is kind of confusing :-)
At some point, I intend to add a 4th role, "editor", which will have privileges less than administrator but more than authenticated user.

You'll be happy to know that Drupal 6 will do that for you. :-) (Except in IE, where it's just too hard to work around the complete lack-of-functionality that is IE.) On Monday 19 November 2007, Michelle Cox wrote:

Nice! Any docs or pointers on how it's done? Some sort of scrollable table jquery plug-in? On Nov 19, 2007 10:25 PM, Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com> wrote:
