Asset Builder: Order of create locations

#1

Matrix Version: v6.25.0

I did see a previous post about this but it was over 10 years now. I’m hoping things have changed.

I am building an Asset Builder page and using a list of Create Locations. The locations seem to be showing on the front end in order of asset ID, even though I have sorted them how I want in the backend. There doesn’t appear to be a way to choose the sort order.

Am I missing something?

Or if not, is there a easy way to sort selects in Simple Edits with keyword modifiers?

Or am I going to have to use Javascript?

You can use an asset listing to recreate the select menu in the Asset Builder. Then you can sort the create locations however you like.

So maintain 2 copies of the same list?

No. You would use a nested asset listing to recreate the select and option fields of the normal asset builder create locations selector.

Ok, cool. that sounds like a plan. Would you know the settings/keyword I’d use in the asset listing to access the create locations list?

You would just mirror the settings that you use for your create locations in the asset builder. Let me know if you are needing a more detailed answer.

I hard coded mine (if know the list won’t change) then usede a little javascript that passes the form action URL.
Let me also know if you want a more detailed answer
