Set ordering of combo-box items 06 Mar 2013 18:40 #6920

I have this function which was created by j-cook in my view.html.php file. I want the items in the generated list to be sorted by "title". How do I do this? Thanks!
protected function displayAjax($tpl = null)
	{
		$jinput = new JInput;
		$render = $jinput->get('render', null, 'CMD');
		$token = $jinput->get('token', null, 'BASE64');
		$values = $jinput->get('values', null, 'ARRAY');



		switch($render)
		{
			case 'filter1':
				$model = $this->getModel();
				$items = $model->getItems();
				
				/* Ajax Filter : client > STUDY
				 * Called from: view:progressreports, layout:default
				 * Group Level : 0
				 */

				$selected = (is_array($values))?$values[count($values)-1]:null;


				$event = 'jQuery("#filter_study").val(this.value);submitform();';
				echo "<div class='ajaxchain-filter ajaxchain-filter-hz'>";
				echo "<div class='separator'>";
				echo JDom::_('html.form.input.select', array(
					'dataKey' => '__ajx_study',
					'dataValue' => $selected,
					'formControl' => null,
					'list' => $items,
					'listKey' => 'id',
					'labelKey' => 'title',
					'nullLabel' => "CFMC_JSEARCH_SELECT_STUDY",

					'selectors' => array(
										'onchange' => $event
									)
					));
				echo "</div>";
				echo "</div>";



				break;

			case 'groupby1':
				$model = $this->getModel();
				$items = $model->getItems();
				/* Ajax Chain : client > STUDY
				 * Called from: view:progressreport, layout:editprogressreport
				 * Group Level : 0
				 */

				$selected = (is_array($values))?$values[count($values)-1]:null;


				$event = 'jQuery("#jform_study").val(this.value);';
				echo "<div class='ajaxchain-filter ajaxchain-filter-hz'>";
				echo "<div class='separator'>";
				echo JDom::_('html.form.input.select', array(
					'dataKey' => '__ajx_study',
					'dataValue' => $selected,
					'formControl' => 'jform',
					'list' => $items,
					'listKey' => 'id',
					'labelKey' => 'title',
					'nullLabel' => "CFMC_JSEARCH_SELECT_STUDY",

					'selectors' => array(
										'onchange' => $event
									)
					));
				echo "</div>";
				echo "</div>";



				break;


		}

		jexit();
	}

Hi & welcome!

I believe that the values retrieved will sorted by the default field of the table from which they are being pulled. Check in the builder by navigating to the table in question and set the default field to your "title" field by clicking the star next to it.

Hopefully that will sort it out for you.

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
