Make Review Activity List Alphabetical

Rob_Simon

We have 9 people on our CAB and when the RA notification fires out, folks go to review the CR and then approve the CAB RA. But the names are quite random from one RA to the next and I've been asked to see if the list can be alphabetized. So far I haven't found anyway to do this so....any one attempt this magic before?

Hey Rob,

I haven't attempted this one before, but have some ideas on it. I'm not entirely sure how the order is determined/rendered for that relationship behind-the-scenes, but its most likely based on either TimeAdded, ReviewerId, or one of the other properties here:



Since there isn't an ordinal that I am aware of, I think the change would have to be at the UI-level, not at the model/data-level. Fortunately, the Reviewers sit in a Kendo Grid, which does have sort functionality built in. To accomplish this, you could do the following:

1. We might have some examples floating around the Community that deal with finding an existing Kendo grid via JQuery, and changing values such as the sort/group/filter. The question has been asked before on the Kendo forms as well if you wanted to pull from those examples.
2. The next challenge here would be identifying each specific reviewer grid, as there would be multiple if more-than-one Review Activity was present on the page. An example that loops through the activities can be found with the MA-Support-Group customization here.

I would think a combination of the looping in (2) and the hiding in (1) would do the trick.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks Nick! Little out of my realm of knowledge but I'll give it a go.
