| Title | Choice for sorting of foreign entries in catalogue reference field entry selectors |
| Status | Open |

| Addon | core_fields |
| Description | Not sure what the default sort option is when pulling entries in from another catalogue, but it would be nice to have the option to decide how they are listed. I do plan to have a lot of entries, so maybe a catalogue isn't the best way to do this. Still, alphabetical sorting would probably make sense as a default for most cases. |

Question: Would it be possible to make it so any release or video added to their respective catalogues is added to the performer catalogue automatically. Having to update the links on all 3 catalogues to group is a bit tedious. Or are catalogues unsuitable for what I want to achieve here. I did think about making a music module, ideally wanted to to it into galleries for videos and images, but there are no tutorials to help me with that (the automatic creation of galleries not listed like the downloads module does). I am assuming it would be easier overall to use what Composr currently offers, but I wanted to check with you if catalogues are the way to go about this, or should I be thinking of making a module? Uploaded progress.png to give you an idea of what I am trying to do. I want to add News and Events too (ideally from News module and Calendar). Did some templating before when I was seeing if this would work out, so I know I can make it look how I want, just really not sure if I can make it act how I need.

I couldn't answer that without knowing what "added to the performer catalogue automatically" entails. The tracker isn't the right place for that discussion though.
The best place to discuss this is the forum, as you can then go into full detail on what you're doing, without it getting mixed in with a tracker item.
You may be asking if you can set up catalogues A and B, such that A has a multi-reference into B, and when you add a new entry to B you would be able to select an entry in A, such that it automatically sets an additional reference in the multi-reference from that entry in A to that new entry in B. i.e. to be able to set the relationship backwards. No way to do it, but it's an interesting idea, I'll add an issue for it.
