I've got 3 tables, each with a matching set of Collection/Item Layouts. From the Joomla Administrator, they appear in the order that I created them as tabs along the top of the component, as well as in the order that they appear in the Joomla Administrator Menu.

I've found where to set which is the default, but is it possible to specify in which order they appear?

e.g. In this order, I created Table3/Collection3/Item3, then Table1/Collection1/Item1, then Table2/Collection2/Item2

In the admin, they appear tabs in this order: | Table3 | Table1 | Table2 |
I'd like then to be in the logical order of | Table1 | Table2 | Table3 |

I believe they'll appear in the order that your tables are in from top to bottom in the builder... However, if that doesn't work for you, go into the main controller.php admin side, you'll find them there in addSubMenu()

No luck...tried re-arranging everything with no change in appearance locally or in the sandbox. Additionally, the Cook builder/downloader doesn't even include a controller.php.

It should contain it... Were you looking in ROOT/administrator/components/com_yourcomponentname/controller.php ?

Checked again, and no sign of it, nor is it in the downloaded file for installation. Inn that folder, these files exist:
access.xml, config.xml, index.html., script.php. sips.php, sips.xml ("sips" is my component)

What version of COOK are you using - 1.5 or 2.0 beta?

I can't honestly say I remember there not being a base controller in COOK 1.5 but it is the only thing that I can think would be different...

****ADD

I'm using v2.0

***********

Using 1.5, and just refreshed the file list - no sign of it.

Just to be absolutely clear, if you're looking in the downloaded installation package, it'll be in the admin folder

Ah, just checked in a dummy component that I reverted back to COOK 1.5 - it'll be in sips.php in your case:

JSubMenuHelper::addEntry(...)

Ah, just found it there with addentry(), not addsubmenu(). Have found where to change it...any idea on how to configure it in COOK?

Interesting - changing the order of the code affects the order of the Tabs, but not the Admin Component submenu items for the components

Ah, to change that, you need sips.xml...

Check in side the <administration> tag and you'll see your menu image tags and submenus too.

Menus are not handled yet.

Orders of tables are not respected. It is missing since the beginning.
For the moment, you deal manually with the menus because it is not a big deal, you can learn something easy, and it is like templating, it is in your own. A little bit of exercice

The menu creator is on the road map of course. But I do know when.

Sorry for inconvenience.

I am currently working hard on something nobody can see because it is internal of Cook Framework to improve it. This is called 2.0. Not finished yet (framework rewrite), but the source code for you is unchanged. You can use 2.0 beta. It works good and almost stable.
Next cool step to come soon : A much better management of filters.
