Default Sorting in WebUI

Post by mrchrister »

Hey guys I have some automated torrents and would like to check what was most recently downloaded. Unfortunately, I'm not able to use the wrench on my Android tablet or my iPhone to change the default sorting to 'Sort by Age'. The button doesn't show on iPhone and on Android it doesn't activate when pushed.
I was trying to find this setting in the JavaScript files but I'm not sure where to look?
Could somebody help me switch the default sorting in Transmission to Sort by Age?

You could try Shift and take a look at Shift@GitHub where you'll find instructions on how to make the doneDate property visible in the web UI.

I actually did try shift but ended up with the same issue of not being able to change the sorting

If you could try 2.90 or later version, it includes changes to web UI that may help you with menu issues on Android (as long as you see the button to call the menu). It's not necessary to update the daemon, you could grab just the web directory from current nightly archive (https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/tr ... sfulBuild/) and replace (but remember to backup) the one you have locally (somewhere in /usr/share I presume).

You must mean "default sorting" for sure because you can sort almost every column in Shift by clicking on the header.

Did you find the instructions on the Github page? You need to manually add some configuration for doneDate (=ETA) first to show and update that field because Shift does not display that field out of the box. The instructions for adding doneDate are right there. After you have done that you need to move the "defaultOrder: false" property from percentDone to doneDate. Taadaa! 5 minutes work tops. 8-)
