Ordering Relationships On Screen
June 30, 2011, 03:16:52 pm
The order in which relationships appear on their tab appears to be determined by the order in which the relationship types were created - so in our case Employer of always comes before our user-created type of 'Primary Contact'. Where there are a lot of employees these more important relationships are lost down the page.

It would be very useful for us - and possibly others if we could order the relationships using a weighting - as you can in some other parts of CiviCRM eg Activities. Would this be hard to achieve?


PS I suppose that simply changing the id of the Employee relationship (currently 4) would break something (membership inheritance?)

Thanks

I wouldn't change your relationships, but you make a very valid point.  I suggest you make a issue on the issue tracker suggesting this:

"Please make relationships listed in relationship tab optionally sortable by either date created or by the weight of the relationship in the relationship types administration area"

You could also ask in the "improvements" section of this forum.
