Hi-- by default sorting is accomplished by the order you set in the WF admin. It's a minor code tweak to do it alphabetically as you describe.

Thanks

Any Chance you can post the minor tweak to the code. I am certain there are many many users frustrated that we can not just set default sort to last name.

Thank you
Gary

I'd also be keen for the tweak please :) Manually sorting is rather intense when you have a good amount of employees.

Same here, it would definitely help, if you could post the code tweak.

Can we please get an answer on how to change the default sort?

This is kind of a basic feature that should be offered.

IANP... but try this.

/components/com_workforce/models/allemployees.php
Line #60 inside the the populateState() function.

Where it sets the default value if nothing is sent via the form:
$orderCol = $app->input->get('filter_order', 'e.ordering');
if (!in_array($orderCol, $this->filter_fields)) {
	$orderCol = 'e.ordering';
}

Adjust $orderCol to use e.lname if it doesn't find anything passed from the form:
$orderCol = $app->input->get('filter_order', 'e.ordering');
if (!in_array($orderCol, $this->filter_fields)) {
	$orderCol = 'e.lname';
}
