Feature Request: Sorting Assets by Creation and Modification Date in Matomo Tag Manager

[ffkpisfr]

Issue Description

In the current version of Matomo Tag Manager, there is no functionality to sort the created assets (like variables, tags, or triggers) by their creation date. This limitation makes it challenging to locate a specific asset, especially in environments where numerous assets are created over time.

Suggested Feature

I propose the introduction of a sorting feature in the Matomo Tag Manager interface. This enhancement would allow users to sort assets not only by their creation date but also by their modification date.

Benefits

• Improved Usability: This feature would significantly enhance user experience by enabling easier navigation and management of assets.
• Efficiency: It would save time for users who need to quickly find and manage recently created or modified assets.
• Better Organization: Sorting by date helps in maintaining a more organized and manageable list of assets.

Potential Implementation

• A dropdown menu or a set of buttons in the UI could be introduced for sorting.
• Users can select to sort assets in ascending or descending order based on their creation or modification date.

I believe this feature would be a valuable addition to Matomo Tag Manager, contributing to its overall functionality and user-friendliness.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Hi @ffkpisfr . Thank you for taking the time to create this issue. That sounds like something that could improve usability for customers. Just to confirm, you're talking about the the view in which you manager tags, variables, and triggers? For example this screen for tabs? We could make the Last Updated column sortable and potentially add a sortable Created Date column.

Hi Jacob,

Yes, it's there.

And I saw another ticket with the same logic but in here : https://github.com/matomo-org/tag-manager/issues/721

Happy to help.

Thank you @ffkpisfr . Good find regarding that other ticket. I had the same thought and linked the two issues in Jira yesterday. Speaking with another developer, we think that once we figure out one ticket, the other should be much easier.

We have internally discussed adding the ability to sort any table on all of their columns, which is potentially the real fix. However, as there are various different "table elements", this would be a reasonable undertaking. Perhaps indeed we can add it for the MTM related tables first.

Note that the linked ticket is to change the default sorting, not to add dynamic sorting. However, as it's related we might find that adding dynamic sorting is doable shortly after.
