When I upload my hotpot quizzes, Moodle uploads it very well. When we view the questions it orders them 1, 11,12, 13 etc. and I want it in order of 1, 2, 3, 4.
What can I do about this?
Maybe we could order them 001, 002, 003 ? I'll look into it.
Hi Joseph,
it's a very interesting idea to use PHP's "natcasesort" sorting function. At the moment, the sorting is done by the database functions when the questions are fetched by the following line in the in the "question_list" function in "question/editlib.php" (about line 255)
at this point, $sortorder is one of the following:

$sortorder,
'*',
$page*$perpage,
$perpage
)"category IN ($categorylist) AND parent = '0' $showhidden",
$sortorder,
'*',
$page*$perpage,
$perpage
at this point, $sortorder is one of the following:
- name, qtype ASC : Sort by name
- qtype, name ASC : Sort by type, name
- id ASC : Sort by age

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the same problem or a different one.
The same thing happened when I imported Hot Pot JQuiz questions into a Moodle Quiz: the questions were ordered as described above. A colleague told me to select "sort by age" and it solved the problem.
Cheers,
Glenys

Bingo! Nice work Glenys.
What's more this setting seems to be "sticky", so that one you have used it on the Edit Quiz/Question page, then it is remembered and used again when you come back to that page later.
Kathleen, does this work for you?

Thanks so much for that help. It does work for us. My collegues will be VERY happy. : )
