Sort secondary tags

jslirola

Hi, any idea how to sort the secondary tags? I would like to change the first one to the last one but I can't find the way to do it. I have been reading the source code and apparently you can do it altering the discussion count on the DB.

https://github.com/flarum/tags/blob/master/js/src/forum/addTagList.js

I tried to update those values but it didn't work

jslirola that's correct, secondary tags are supposed to be sorted by discussion_count.

That value is automatically updated by Flarum whenever a discussion is created, deleted or restored though so your manual changes will quickly be lost.

You would have to create a Flarum extension to provide a different sorting method.

clarkwinkelmann Thank you for your message.

In theory it should affect my forum, but the first tag is dedicated to storing very old messages (Archive) and is restricted to read only, for that reason I would like it to appear after the other one, but it doesn't work even changing that column in the database manually.

Any ideas how to make it appear below the other secondary tag without creating an extension?
