NickSlavsky | Subject: Sorting in Gradebook only by name |  |
| Hey Guys! i regret to say, but i found another big problem. once again my specs are the same as in the thread: www.atutor.ca/view/3/19602/1.html my small project is growing a bit and the question of the sorting became popular as the number of users grows. when you enter the grade book to, for example put the external marks - you find the list sorted only by NAME. imagine yourself having a course and ten students share the name John!!!!!! this might become a nightmare for groups larger than 5 people! is there any option to change this?

| Not sure I'd classify this as a "big problem" nor a "nightmare." Even with 10 Johns, its not really a problem. I don't see a good reason to make the Import External Marks sortable by something other than Name. If you can convince us its a real problem, we'll take a closer look.

| Okay, Greg. i see that you misunderstood me a bit and perhaps i did not make myself clear enough. first off, i'm talking about sorting students in gradebook in general, not only Import External Marks. In our project we use the gradebook to simply put the marks manually from the paper gradebooks so that the parents could see the progress of their children online. In most countries from my perspective the paper grade books are sorted by last name, e.g.: Adams John - A+ Brown John - A Crosby John - B Downing John - C Evans John - D thus managing the list is easier. another reason: most instructors tend to remember the last names first, because it is not common to have 5 guys with last name Adams in a group. The architecture of grade book as i get it right now is the following: to build this list we 1. take the first names out of the database 2. take the last names out of the database 3. build a string where the first name goes first and the last name goes second 4. put these strings into table I suggest to make string where last name goes first and the first name goes second. At least I desperately need it. Without changing the whole project logic you can simply point me to the code segment where this is made and i will change everything for my project. thanks Posted: 2010-03-02 11:03:06 | ||

| I gather you are talking about the display from edit_marks.php? edit line 115 to and edit line 260 to reverse the names Posted: 2010-03-02 13:30:58 | ||
