Hi all,

I searched on internet and on the forum but I haven't find any answer.

Is there a way to force a List item to be at the bottom or at the top of a list (like the '...' (= previous) item ?

An example of what I want to do :

I create a list of item with the "UNSORTED" sort method and I obtain that :

Code:

Reptils
Fishs
Dogs
Cats
More videos...

If I add the "LABEL" sort method I obtain that :

Code:

Cats
Dogs
Fishs
More videos...
Reptils

BUT, I want to force the 'More videos...' item to be at the bottom even with the 'LABEL' sort method like that :

Code:

Cats
Dogs
Fishs
Reptils
More videos...

Thanks a lot for your help

No one?

Maybe my question isn't clear?

With alphabetical sort labels starting with non-alpha characters are displayed on top of the others. So you can do something like [More videos...].
If you really need to display your item at the bottom, you can use some non-alpha characters with high Unicode code points, for example:

Code:

u'‹More videos...›'

Do note that this must be a Unicode literal in Python.

Hi Roman,

Thanks for your answer.

Ok, so we have to use things likes this 'hack', there is no 'official' trick to do that

I am going to try with this 'hack'.

Nothing to see with this thread but I use your Simpleplugin framework, I very like it ! And your documentation is very nice, thanks for your job ;-)

That is one think that surprised me too and the whole reason most people don't use sort option. It would be nice if 2 flags could be added. Maybe something like itemType = content/header/footer where header and footer are ignored on sort methods. Or even something as simple as sortable=True/False on the listitem

I am 100% agree with you Protocol-X!
