Important: Manual order can be reversed
Description
The program list lets a visitor pick a sort field and a sort direction independently, and it offers both directions for every field. The manual order of the program pages, Page sorting, existed in its ascending variant only. Picking it together with Descending rendered the ascending list again, and the direction select snapped back to Ascending without a message.
\FGTCLB\ now defines
SORT_, so every combination the two selects offer is an
ordering the list really renders. Page sorting, reversed is
available as a default ordering of the list content element as well, on TYPO3
v12 and v13 alike.
Impact
Nothing changes for a content element that is already stored: every ordering
that existed keeps its value and its behaviour. One further ordering becomes
reachable: in the plugin configuration, through the sorting form, and through
the /sorting/ path of the shipped route enhancer, which resolved
before but was then discarded.
EXT:academic_partners and EXT:academic_projects already offered the reversed manual order, so the three lists now agree.
Affected Installations
Every installation of this extension that renders the program list with its sorting form, or that wants the reversed manual order as a configured default. Nothing has to be done on update.
