Change default sort order

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to change the default sorting column for a treeview (sales.order specifically)? I have a custom field I have set up and would like the sorting to default to this column.

Thanks all

VIA UI:
As of Odoo 8 you can simply add a *default_order* attribute in the view definition, to override the default ordering of the model. The syntax for this attribute is the same as the `_order` attribute of the model in Python.
Example:
<tree default_order='date_expected, picking_id, sequence'>

Hi,

in your class inherited of you module,

add :

class NameClass(....):

_inherit = "name.class"

_order = "custom_field_name, other_field ..." (you can add option asc or desc too)

Bye

<tree default_order='date desc'> Does the trick for me.(For descinding order)

Instead of changing from the _order attribute from Python File.

You can just change the default_order attribute of Tree View (This way you can have different order by based on each tree view for that specific model)

- And can inherit base view with following syntax (Descending example)
