There was a problem hiding this comment.
The rest are sorted alphabetically.

Please add them in alphabetical order and not just randomly insert in the middle |
|
Sorry, i added the options with a "logical" positioning (not randomly): now are alphabetically ordered. |

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on 9246379 Tested successfully (if the rel is present) in frontend with beez3, protostar and a custom template. This comment was created with the J!Tracker Application at issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/28055. |

@simbus82 For obvious reasons we dont mark successful tests on our own code. Obviously it is already assumed that you tested your code when you submitted it |
|
@simbus82 Altered your test result to "not tested" in the issue tracker due to reason @brianteeman explained above. |
