Sort admin configuration menu

[Cath]

Thanks so much for your time.

At the moment, this is the configuration menu order:


My Store
Minimum Values
Maximum Values
Images
Customer Details
Shipping/Packaging
Product Listing
Stock
Logging
Email
Attribute Settings
GZip Compression
Sessions
Regulations
GV Coupons
Credit Cards
Product Info
Layout Settings
Website Maintenance
Index Listing
Define Page Status
EZ-Pages Settings

but I'd like it in this order:

Attribute Settings
Credit Cards
Customer Details
Define Page Status
Email
EZ-Pages Settings
GV Coupons
GZip Compression
Images
Index Listing
Layout Settings
Logging
Maximum Values
Minimum Values
My Store
Product Info
Product Listing
Regulations
Sessions
Shipping/Packaging
Stock
Website Maintenance

I tried changing the sort order in the configuration_group table, but it had no effect.

OK. Edit admin/includes/languages/lang.english.php

change
'MENU_CATEGORIES_TO_SORT_BY_NAME' => 'reports,tools',
to
'MENU_CATEGORIES_TO_SORT_BY_NAME' => 'configuration,reports,tools',

OK. Edit admin/includes/languages/lang.english.php

change
'MENU_CATEGORIES_TO_SORT_BY_NAME' => 'reports,tools',
to
'MENU_CATEGORIES_TO_SORT_BY_NAME' => 'configuration,reports,tools',

Even better, so that you're not making a core-file change, create the file admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mysite_overrides.php that contains

$define = [
    'MENU_CATEGORIES_TO_SORT_BY_NAME' => 'configuration,reports,tools',
];
return $define;

Hi, Lat9 - thanks for your time.

I created the following:

D:\SOFTWARE\xampp\htdocs\zencart6\MYADMIN\includes\languages\english\extra_defin itions\mysite_overrides.php

which contains:

<?php
$define = [
    'MENU_CATEGORIES_TO_SORT_BY_NAME' => 'configuration,reports,tools',
];
return $define;

and it made no difference to the configuration menu.

Is there somewhere else that I should make changes?

I followed SWGuy's instructions and that worked, but I understand that it's bad practice to edit the core files.

I made the file MYADMIN\includes\languages\english\extra_defin itions\lang.mysite_overrides.php
and it works.

On my sites I usually prefix my override file names with z to force them to load last eg lang.zbmh_overrides.php
