Should the list not be ordered for “convenience” vs fixed.
The need to scroll down each time for Articles is not necessary.
Change the name from “Single Article” to “Article-Single” would put it near the top.
Changing “Archived Articles” to “Articles-Archived” would order those two items correctly.

These naming depend on the language used. What may be OK in English is not necessary correct in other languages. |
|
The only thing I could think of would be to change the name so that it has a numerical prefix. That should work in all languages. eg 2.. Archived Articles 1. Categpry Blog Or you could do it yourself with language overrides as I just did here

Does the back end not change based on language.
In any case, thanks for the push back on helping with the issue.
Guess we just need to “live with it” and keep scrolling down for the most used choice.

Numbering might make sense.
Problem with “overrides” reverts back to the question of: how many beginner users know how to create/invoke overrides? So that does not appear to be a proper solution.
In any case, any way that the MOST USED (Articles) should appear on a list before the LEAST USED (Archived Articles) makes sense.

File concerned is com_content.sys.ini en-GB fr-FR Therefore you can make an override for en-GB or we can modify in core en-GB by taking off the word "Single" Adding a numerical prefix only for articles would make no sense imho as we should be consequent and also add such prefixes for other components. What would be the correct order for Users? |
|
Removing the word Single will not change the alphabetical order ;) Archived Articles |
|
Note that in Farsi - com_content is the penultimate set of options when selecting a menu
|
It will in the sense that it would display near the top instead of the end of the list. |
|
It is not a good solution. |
|
The ordering could then be made consistent across all languages |
|
Not sure about that as ordering depends on db collation. |
|
Really. We use the ordering column everywhere |
|
ordering up an down does not mean it is the ordering related to language. It is only relative to alphabetical order as the collation sees it. |
|
I am talking about using the ordering column which is numerical. |
Steps to reproduce the issue
When creating a Menu Link Item for an Article, when the "Articles" selector is opened, "Archived Articles" (likely the least used), appears at the top, while "Articles" (likely the MOST used), is at the bottom and it is necessary to scroll down to it.
Is it remotely possible that "Articles" (the most used option), be moved to being the first item on the list of Menu Link Item choices? It just makes sense.
It has always been a nuisance in previous versions, and there is no reason to perpetuate it forward to 4.0 is it?
Can someone on the 4.0 team kick that into action please.
