[TYPO3-dam] Another sorting thread

[Nico Potvin]

Hi,

i have the same problem with sorting, and i noticed that the sorting 
functionality is added to the do-to list of the DAM, so i think it 
should arrive in one of the next DAM update, although i hope it will be 
included in the next one.

I found a piece of code that should add the functionality, but i will 
wait for the next update. It is in one of my previous posts on the 
list.

I sort my files now by adding numbers to the file in the meta name, 
this works for files in certain categories and if you have max 20 
files, but is a real pain in the *** if you have to do 700+ files..

i hope it will arrive soon, i am waiting for this too.

greets

Nico
