[Typo3-shop] Backend order tracking / inline order status display (suggestion and code)

[Julo Ferianc]

Hi Franz, hi all,

we are receiving quite a considerable amount of orders in one of our 
tt_products shops and we are struggling with backend order management 
quite heavily. Default list of orders like
...
uid: customer's name (amount)
uid: customer's name (amount)
...

doesn't give us necessary first-sight orientation we would need. 
Therefore we are modifying classes ad-hoc with every new tt_products 
version to display orders list as
...
uid: customer's name (amount) /status
uid: customer's name (amount) /status
...

Now to why I'm writing this: I would like to suggest incorporating our 
way of orders list display as a standard tt_products way for future 
releases, until someone doesn't come up with something even better :-)

What do you think ?

BTW, when time permits, we'll planing to implement filtering of 
displayed orders by status by adding status selector. Woul anyone find 
this useful ?

Cheers

Julo


PS: If you agree with aforementioned, then modification of latest 2.4.0 
release would be as follows:
