'exposes' and 'edit views' order in editor

[Gael Princivalle]

Hello.

When I open in the editor a controller, at the top controller functions are listed in 'exposes' and 'edit views'.

I don't understand which is the order criteria for these lists.

brands, user, news, index

Is there a way to have these lists in an alphabetic order?

brands, index, news, user

Thanks.

hopefully they either are alphabetical or in the same order they're defined :D ... some logic should be there :P

[Gael Princivalle]

Ok for 'exposes' they are in the order they are define.

And for 'edit views' ?

[Niphlod]

views are alphabetical.

So I have to check my alphabet knowledge, here is how my views are displayed in the editor:

 fuzz, googleaf365ee20ab65216, user, news, ordine_verifica, fattoria_didattica, contatti, test, attivita_fattoria_didattica, carrello, chi_siamo, index, test2, ordine_indirizzo, in_progress, prodotto, prodotti, brands

I have two web2py 2.9.12 installations, both with five applications, and the view order is the same.

the order comes from glob.glob() . from what I recalled, it returned alphabetically sorted results. 

Seems instead - checking the docs - that "The list is in arbitrary order" . sorry for the misdirection.

[Gael Princivalle]

Is it possible in new web2py versions to change it to alphabetical?

[Niphlod]

for both functions and views or only for views ?

[Gael Princivalle]

Well for my personal advice, alphabetic order is the universal way to organize informations.

I use only view links, so for my personal use only views, but I think it's useful having also functions in alphabetic order.

that was exactly what I was thinking about: same order for both, and alphabetical is kinda universal.

Won't be a long-standing issue but right now I need to go to bed. Can you please raise an issue on github ? Just to keep it tracked.
