I'm really interested in getting started with the new "reordering of lists" feature that was checked into Github yesterday. When I updated my October using "composer update", sure enough, the files involved with reordering are now included with October. I have a client site that goes live in a week, and it would be great to have the ability to reorder records. Is there a "quick start" guide available?

Thanks for the update! Bret

To partially answer my own question, the documentation is here: https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/reorder

Follow up question: Where's an example reorder toolbar partial? I'm referring to this section in the Reorder Behavior Config file:

# Toolbar widget configuration
toolbar:
    # Partial for toolbar buttons
    buttons: reorder_toolbar  <=== and this should contain?

Thanks! Bret

I've posted this question to Stack Overflow in hopes to get an answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32341621/october-cms-sorting-records-example-of-the-partial-for-the-toolbar-icons

An example for the toolbar can be found here: https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/lists#adding-toolbar

Thanks for the link, Alxy. I'm unfortunately still having issues. I added the following toolbar partial (named _reorder_toolbar.htm):

<div data-control="toolbar">
    <a
        href="<?= Backend::url('btruchan/team/members/create') ?>"
        class="btn btn-primary oc-icon-plus">
        New Team Member
    </a>
    <button
        class="btn btn-default oc-icon-trash-o"
        disabled="disabled"
        onclick="$(this).data('request-data', {
            checked: $('.control-list').listWidget('getChecked')
        })"
        data-request="onDelete"
        data-request-confirm="Delete Team Member: Are you sure?"
        data-trigger-action="enable"
        data-trigger=".control-list input[type=checkbox]"
        data-trigger-condition="checked"
        data-request-success="$(this).prop('disabled', false)"
        data-stripe-load-indicator>
        Delete
    </button>
</div>

And the error that I'm getting is:

Undefined variable: reorderToolbarWidget
/var/www/terrasearch/public/modules/backend/Behaviors/reordercontroller/partials/_container.htm line 1

The code it's referring to is:

<?php if ($reorderToolbarWidget): ?>
    <!-- Reorder Toolbar -->
    <div id="<?= $this->getId('reorderToolbar') ?>" class="reorder-toolbar">
        <?= $reorderToolbarWidget->render() ?>
    </div>
<?php endif ?>

<!-- Reorder List -->
<?= Form::open() ?>
    <div
        id="reorderTreeList"
        class="control-treelist"
        data-control="treelist"

I've tried to trace this error down. It seems like, in \public\modules\backend\behaviors\ReorderController.php, the reorder() function is not being called, which means that the prepareVars() function is also not being called. This prevents the following code from being executed:

    $this->vars['reorderToolbarWidget'] = $this->toolbarWidget;

ReorderController.php::makeToolbarWidget() is being called and seems to be OK. I've checked $this->toolbarWidget, and it seems to contain perfectly good data. (It isn't NULL).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Can I bump this? I'm really stuck.
