Add data widget - set sort by title as default

[JasonStanton__GISP]

Greetings,

In WAB 2.3, using the add data widget, is there a way to set it to sort by title as the default?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Jason,

   You need to make changes in two files:

[install dir]\server\apps\[app#]\widgets\AddData\search\SortOptions.js line 31:

[install dir]\server\apps\[app#]\widgets\AddData\search\templates\SortOptions.html line 5 and 6:

(remove the selected property from line 5 and add it to line 6)

<div class="search-sort-options">
  <label for="${id}_select" class="sort-prompt">${i18n.search.sortOptions.prompt}</label> 
  <select id="${id}_select"
    data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Select" data-dojo-attach-point="sortSelect">
    <option value="">${i18n.search.sortOptions.relevance}</option>
    <option value="title" selected="selected">${i18n.search.sortOptions.title}</option>‍‍‍‍‍‍
....‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
