Sort results of admin search?

[johnnydoe]

Hi folks,
is it possible to sort the results of the admin search in PW - in my case just by title of the page? I think by default it is sorted by it's position in the page tree? I tried to inidicate a sorting for the children of the page "Admin" > "Pages" > "Search", but without success. Also the "Page Search" module, found in the core modules doesn't seem to have a sort option for the results. Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much in advance!

You can use a hook for this ?

Thank you very much! 
This works very well for the first result page!
 
But if I click on "View > All pages", which takes me to the detailed search results page, the results are not in alphabetical order... can I hook this too? 
Off-topic question: how can I find which hook can I use where, or do I just need common sense and and maybe guessing to find the right hook? ?

You have too hook the Lister:

$wire->addHookBefore('ProcessPageLister::execute', function(HookEvent $event) {
	/* @var ProcessPageLister $lister */
	$lister = $event->object;

	// I'm not sure, but the parent of the "Search Lister" has the ID 0?
	if($lister->parent->id !== 0) return;

	// Set sort
	$lister->defaultSort = 'title';
	bd("Changed Search Sort");
});

IIRC this just takes you to the normal page finder, where you can click the column headers to sort. You can also add and remove columns if the one you’re looking for isn’t there by default.

Hi @Jan Romero, you are so right, I missed that... that is a very good and simple to sort the results, thank you!  ... and @zoeck: that is a great way to sort the results by default, the code works like a charm. Thanks again! ❤️
