Struggling With Changing Sorting On Cart.cart_List - Tried Everything

Hope someone can help, as been trying for hours and hours tonight to crack this:

admin.php?dispatch=cart.cart_list

By default it is sorting by customer and i can see in

app/controllers/backend/cart.php

$sorting = db_sort($params, $sortings, 'customer', 'asc');

Now i know i can simply add or rather replace with:

$sorting = db_sort($params, $sortings, 'date', 'desc');

which does work, but i want to override this really within my addon, ive tried with a hook from what hook i found in that file, tried with cart.post.php and under $mode to do a redirect with fn_redirect and another method but then broke search... im sure im missing some real easy way of doing this? can someone help?

Try to create the cart.pre.php and use the following code for the cart_list mode:

if (empty($_REQUEST['sort_by'])) {
    $_REQUEST['sort_by'] = 'date';
}

Try to create the cart.pre.php and use the following code for the cart_list mode:

if (empty($_REQUEST['sort_by'])) {
    $_REQUEST['sort_by'] = 'date';
}

Thanks for getting back to me mate, i removed the cart.post.php file i added and created cart.pre.php file in /app/addons/abandoned_cart_extended/controllers/backend/ with the following code:

if (!defined(‘BOOTSTRAP’)) { die(‘Access denied’); }

if ($mode == ‘cart_list’) {
if (empty($_REQUEST['sort_by'])) {
    $_REQUEST['sort_by'] = 'date';
}

}

But when i went to:

admin.php?dispatch=cart.cart_list

Did not seem to do anything, just defaulted to the Customer sorting as defined in cart.php default backend controller file

Any ideas? really want to avoid editing the cart.php controller ideally.

Thanks again mate

Ok worked it out, thought would try it directly in the URL and did not sort by date, but if i also done sort_order=desc it worked so with the following it done the trick! so simple, i tried for hours and hours yesterday trying different things, php, js work arounds haha

Thanks for your help mate as just got me in the right direction, for anyone else this is the solution:

if ($mode == 'cart_list') {
if (empty($_REQUEST['sort_by'])) {
    $_REQUEST['sort_by'] = 'date';
    $_REQUEST['sort_order'] = 'desc';
}

}

Works 4.6 like this

app/functions/fn_cart.php

 $sorting = db_sort($params, $sortings, 'customer', 'asc');

$sorting = db_sort($params, $sortings, 'date', 'desc'); 

Unfortunately, the fn_get_carts function does not have hooks

Try to use cart.pre.php controller and add something like this

use Tygh\Registry;

if (!defined(‘BOOTSTRAP’)) { die(‘Access denied’); }
if ($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_METHOD’] == ‘POST’) {

return;

}
if ($mode == ‘cart_list’ && !isset($_REQUEST[‘sort_by’])) {

$_REQUEST[‘sort_by’] = ‘date’;

}
