Title: [Feature Request] Sortable Menus Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # [Feature Request] Sortable Menus * Resolved [tjc-thomas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tjc-thomas/) * (@tjc-thomas) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-sortable-menus/) * Thanks for making such a useful, simple plugin. It has helped us clean up the plugin area a great deal. * One feature request I have which I would really appreciate is the ability to sort plugins by date installed, activated and deactivated. This would make it much easier to see which plugin was most recently modified (among other things). I’m guessing you’d have to make the ‘Plugin’ column also sortable to put them back in alphabetical order. * Is this a feature that could be implemented? * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/xgen-date-information/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xgen-date-information/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [xGen Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xgensolutions/) * (@xgensolutions) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-sortable-menus/#post-6016173) * Hello tjc-thomas, * Thank you for your suggestion and the requested changes will be incorporated in our next version and it will released in 2-3 days. * Regards, xGen Team * Thread Starter [tjc-thomas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tjc-thomas/) * (@tjc-thomas) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-sortable-menus/#post-6016180) * That is amazing.

I am definitely excited to leave a 5-star review for this, but there’s a couple littttttle things about the last update: * **1. It doesn’t work as intended** * The dates are actually not listed in the correct order. Instead of being listed in actual order, they are listed sequentially based on the FIRST DIGIT. So it goes: April 10, April 19, April 20 (ok so far) then April 7, April 8, April 9, etc. This is because it is taking the digits as decimals or something (like 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, etc.). This should be fixed. * **2. Would it be possible to make “Plugin” a sortable menu? ** * That is, the NAME of the plugins as well so we can re-arrange them in alphabetical order if we wish. Right now, once you click on of the date menus it will stay like that permanently and there is no option to re-list everything in alphabetical order. Making this menu would be appreciated! * Plugin Author [xGen Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xgensolutions/) * (@xgensolutions) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-sortable-menus/#post-6016194) * Thank you, kindly rate the plugin.

Kindly update to the latest version. * Regards, xGen Team * Thread Starter [tjc-thomas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tjc-thomas/) * (@tjc-thomas) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-sortable-menus/#post-6016202) * WONDERFUL. It’s so beautiful now :’) * Thanks for this. * For a future update, it would be nice if the menus keep your preferences as your change screens. That is, if I sort by activation date, for example, it would be nice if they plugins stay sorted that way if I clicked a different menu and came back to the ‘plugins’ area (right now it resets to default alphabetical order when you click away from the page). I think this would be an acceptable change (i.e. keeping user preferences) now that we can reset to alphabetical when we click the ‘plugin’ column. * Thanks again for making a great plugin and being so responsive! * Plugin Author [xGen Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xgensolutions/) * (@xgensolutions) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-sortable-menus/#post-6016203) * You’re welcome.
