Cannot Sort Sites By ID Number – v3.1.1 Multi-Site

  • PROBLEM:
    In version 3.0.5, we used to be able to navigate to the ‘Super Admin > Sites’ page and sort the sub-domains by their respective ID’s. After upgrading from v3.0.5, I notice that you cannot sort by site ID anymore. Is there a simple way to allow us to continue using that feature, a plugin or core code change, perhaps?

    NOTE TO THE DEVELOPERS:
    While I know and appriciate that you put a lot of time and effort into creating an amazing product (for free no less), please keep in mind that many of us use manage our sites using automation scripts that rely on exact page elements. Every little change that you implement that seems so minor to you, can blow up our scripts like a stick of dynamite. Every element name change in the HTML source code can have an impact, for example, not to mention page URI’s and on page error messages. I’m not saying this should be your first priority, of course not. Improving the product comes first, but it is something to keep in mind. Thanks.

    No, not sortable. You can list them https://code.ipstenu.org/hacks/site-id-columns-multisite/

    Toss that code in a plugin file in mu-plugins and it’ll work, it no, it will not sort.

    What use is sorting by ID anyway?

    And as a sidebar, if you live and die by automation (my day job is automation via CLIs), then it would be worth your while to start watching the dev blogs as well as beta test before the new versions come out.

    I uploaded the plugin to the standard /wp-content/plugins/ directory, and it works when activated in stand-alone, non-network mode. It did not show up on the Plugins page when uploaded the file to /mu-plugins/.

    When listing sites in Network Mode, the Site ID column appears on the far right. That will be sufficient for now. Thank you.

    It did not show up on the Plugins page when uploaded the file to /mu-plugins/.

    That’s correct behaviour for *any* plugin that is placed in the mu-plugins folder. You’ll see it under the Network Admin -> Plugins -> Must use section.

    And given that there’s no interface for the plugin, there’s no need for it to show up in the list of plugins ?? mu-plugins are prefect for that ??
