Admin tab order

[PinkElephant]

Hi,

A quick question following failed searches: is there a way of changing the Admin tab order?

I'm adding blocks via ECB2 which supports priority=n to control display order within tabs but is there anything similar to control tab order? I'm hoping to position bespoke tabs before/after specific core tabs, including Main.

(It looks like bespoke tabs appear between Main and Nav. Ideally, I'd like to break that ... in a quick, easy, non-breaking way )

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Unfortunately there's currently no way to specify the tab order, the only option that I'm aware of is to use creative naming. I don't think you can put anything before Main or after Preview, but everything in between uses a zz_1 through zz_5 prefix on the tab ID. To place tabs after them you can use a special character before the tab name, the accepted answer on this post has a few that work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/808 ... betic-list

Unfortunately none of them are particularly pretty, I think you'd have to customize the admin template to add any kind of proper sorting.

Hi DIGI3

Thanks for the rapid and useful pointers. Some of those special characters should work well even if it's just to control the Main thru Nav layout without compromising the labelling.

Cheers,
Martin
