Sort version field by version instead of date

Post by TiKu »

Hi,

The list of project versions is sorted by creation date. I would like to have it sorted by version (major, minor, revision) instead, because sometimes I release a new revision of an older version which should not make the actually old version being displayed on top of the list. Currently I work around this by changing the release date manually, but I would like to have a proper solution.
So how can the sorting of versions be changed? Do I have to create a plugin? How would I do this?

Regards

This is a known feature request, see https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=10419
It can't be solved by a plugin that hooks to an existing event.
You would have to change existing source or write a plugin that implements a complete own change log.

Thanks a lot. For now I changed it in the sourcecode. It would be great if in some future version this would be configurable.
