Implemented [Suggestion] Change the Smilie Cache to sort by Title instead of Smilie_ID

[Kevin]

In the ACP the Smilies definitions are displayed alphabetically by their title and when viewing them on the Help page. When viewing the list of smilies from the editor they are instead displayed by their table ID instead.

To be consistent the suggestion is to change /Model/Smilie.php so that the query for getAllSmiliesForCache is ordered by 'title' instead of 'smilie_id' as current.

This would also allow us to group similarly themed smilies together based upon their name so that we could have a bit of control over how they are displayed in the editor.

Thank you.

You should follow these instructions:

Editing the database directly can wreak havoc if you don't know what you are doing.

There are about 60 smilies, to remove them and enter them again with all the descriptions, link,etc. would be a big job...repeatedly.

Edit the smilie_id value in the xf_smilie table.

I have values:
1
2
8
9
11
13
14
...
70
71
72

I would like 13 to become the second.
Plan:
Change 2 to 3
Change 13 to 2

Would it work?

You will need to free to the destination id first.

You will need to free to the destination id first.

I don't understand that.

Yes.
Change 2 to 3 then 13 to 2 and so on.
