Invoice PDF Items sorted in alphabetical order

Hi,

I would like to know how can I make the Invoice PDF’s generate in alphabetical order?

I’m using the latest version of invoice plane.

Kind regards,
John

I figured it out.

For any one with the same issue, all you have to do it edit this file: application\modules\invoices\models\Mdl_items.php

In that file you will find this method:

public function default_order_by()
{
    $this->db->order_by('ip_invoice_items.item_order');
}

All you have to change is the line of code in the method to:
public function default_order_by()

{
    $this->db->order_by('ip_invoice_items.item_name');
}

That will work, but please keep in mind, that this change will be deleted/wiped with every update you make.
I would recommend opening a PR with this code and then differenciate it by a button or sort-setting. That would provide that function for all and make it persistent.

Thanks :wink:
