CE9 Instance manager sorting

[mbfloyd]

Hello all,
How could the sort order in Instance manager be changed. Sort by date instead of by name.

Thanks

I don't use this, but it is csp code that can be manipulated. Do this:

Locate the file main.csp referenced in the URL.
Copy the file, e.g. main2.csp.

In main2.csp...
Edit the two occurrences of "main.csp" in the file, changing them to "main2.csp".
Edit line 369, changing "SI_NAME" to "SI_UPDATE_TS".
Save main2.csp.

Start the Instance Manager.
Change the URL to refer to main2.csp.

This may not give you the exact date you want to sort on, but it seems to be close. The actual sort routine is in paging.csp, in the directory above main.csp. It appears it would not be easy to change for other sorts.

Also, if this works for you, you can find better ways to execute main2.csp than manually changing the main.csp URL.

And, hopefully, someone has a better solution than changing code.
