Hi there

I'm sure this is really easy question but i couldn't find any info on it.

How do i setup the category list view to show the latest categories on top rather than the bottom in a one column view?

thanks! i LOVE this component!!

It's always displaying as the first of the top because when you create a categorie it's normally identified as
id: 1

so it's the first category ehich is shown in your Gallery
i hope this helps you , otehrwise you can set the id's manually
Joomla Admin Control Panel --> Components --> PhocaGallery --> Categories --> (set id's)

Cheers Philipp

like...change ASC to DESC somewhere?

You can change the SQL query in models, see e.g.:

components\com_phocagallery\models\category.php

I changed this line in catagory.php

$this->setState('filter_order_dir', JRequest::getCmd('filter_order_Dir', 'ASC));

but nothing changed.
Did i miss something?

Hi, I didn't try it, so I cannot say, but you should change the sql query in model (selecting the categories)

components/com_phocagallery/models/categories.php (I hope it is right, I am not on my PC, so I cannot check it )

i decided just to change the order manually like previously suggested :P i was wasting too much time trying to get the sql to change.

thanks anyways. still love the component!
