Hook to sort FieldTypeOptions

[Mackski]

I have options defined that I want to sort before display in admin.
The options are displayed as checkboxes, or AsmSelect depending on how I feel

Alphanumeric eg:
1=remoteGarage
2=secureParking
3=study
4=dishwasher
5=builtInRobes
6=gym

Sorted for display:
5=buildInRobes
4=dishwasher
6=gym
1=remoteGarage
2=secureParking
3=study

Not sure I understand, but you can just enter the options into the field config exactly like that and then there is no need for a hook.

I agree that @Robin S solution is definitely the easiest if that works for you.

But, if you do need to dynamically order with a hook, then this should work for you. Don't forget to change 'options_field_name' to the appropriate value.

$this->addHookAfter('Field::getInputfield', null, function($event) {
    if($event->object->name == 'options_field_name') {
        $inputfield = $event->return;
        $options = $inputfield->options;
        foreach($options as $id => $title) {
            $inputfield->removeOption($id, $title);
        }
        asort($options);
        foreach($options as $id => $title) {
            $inputfield->addOption($id, $title);
        }
        $event->return = $inputfield;
    }
});

I am a little under the weather today and I feel like I am missing an easier way to remove all existing options before sorting and adding them back. I feel like there is probably a better way to do this in general, but it doesn't look like you can use PW's sort() here. Maybe I am just not seeing it right now

I'm not sure why I didn't try this, I just assumed PW would just order them by ID, however this is not the case.

This also makes sense when adding new options in order with new ID's. Problem solved.
