Howdy, I’m curious if it’s possible to have sorting options for the overlay panels. When we build out a full set of them it gets tough to navigate, thanks for any insight and if it’s not possible via the UI or code, perhaps a featured request to consider in the future.

Thanks!

Hi there,

It’s not possible for the current UI.

But you can try this code to switch the UI to the classic view, you should be able to sort the overlays by published date.

//activate classic list view for overlay

add_action('admin_init', function () {
    remove_action('admin_init', [
        GenerateBlocks_Pro_Overlay_Post_Type::get_instance(),
        'redirect_admin_view'
    ]);

    global $pagenow;

    if ( 'admin.php' === $pagenow && isset($_GET['page']) && 'generateblocks-overlay-panels' === $_GET['page']) {
        wp_safe_redirect(admin_url('edit.php?post_type=gblocks_overlay'));
        exit;
    }
}, 1);
