I searched all Forum but couldn't find this answer.

1º - When we click to create a new item in CMS, it automatically got created in the end of the list. This is really really bad when u got a bunch of articles and need to scroll down a lot to find it. Is there any way to the new item be created in the FIRST of the list, and not last?

---

2º - I have been trying to use this command in some controllers:

static $default_sort = "Created DESC";

The main objective is just to sort a specific list i need.
But it just brings no effect, tried to use Created, Title and others default rows... but never works (SilverStripe 2.4.4).

So, i made the hard decision to force it in "_config.php" using:

SiteTree::$default_sort = "Created DESC";

OK, it works fine, but i got all the tree sorted.

How can i do a specific sort in a specific page i need?

I'm trying to avoid change SilverStripe core, always using its own parameters.
Sorry my bad english guys, i'll would be grateful for your help.

I have been trying to use this command in some controllers:

It shouldn't be in the controller, this is a model level variable. So try setting public $default_sort = "Created DESC"; on your subclassed model.

I made it, but $default_sort just don't work (and every topic says the same).
The main objective is sort the CMS Tree, but the only way possible right now is editing "_config.php".

Can you give a look?

I just figured out there's no solution for truly sort the tree.

So i used pter's magic module called "hidepages" ( http://www.silverstripe.org/customising-the-cms/show/11471?start=32#post293932 ) that can make your own rules to sort the list.

I really think SilverStripe could use this options in "$defaults" but it can't yet.

Hope this can help other people.
