[TYPO3-irre] Sorting of IRRE Children

[Jeff Segars]

Hey Olly,
I've got an interesting issue with sorting of IRRE children. In my
extension, I have categories and child records within those
categories.  The child records can be manually sorted within the
backend list view and this manual sorting is reused when displaying
the records in the frontend.

When I add a new child record via IRRE, the sorting for every child
record within a category is updated. I return to list view and they're
all grouped together at the top of the list. Obviously, this messes up
the previous manual sort order but I don't think there's a clear way
that the list view sorting of all records and IRRE sorting of child
records can co-exist.

Is there any way to disable manual sorting for a particular table
within IRRE while still allowing it within the standard backend list
view?

Thanks,
Jeff
