Sortable Grid Views Plugin - screencast

Have you ever thought sorting nodes by Content: Post date (desc) or Node: Title (asc) just didn't cut it? Ever wanted to sort a view in a freestyle kinda way? Sortable Grid Views Plugin will let you do just that.

This screencast covers the Sortable Grid Views Plugin for a Drupal 6 installation. But sgrid works just about the same for a Drupal 7 installation. This is how projects are sorted in my Portfolio.

Here is the list of modules you will need:

  • Views 6.x-3.0-alpha4
  • jQuery UI 6.x-1.5
  • jQuery plugin version > 1.7.x
  • jQuery Update 6.x-2.0-alpha1
  • Sgrid 6.x-1.x-dev

Thank you for this screencast. I'm wondering why you needed to create two pages? Can't the sort work on the first page and be saved?

The 2 pages are by design. By that I mean that's just the way the module was conceived. Draggable views, which came first, is conceived that way: separate views are required for sorting and displaying. AFAIK, that's what we have for Drupal 6. In Drupal 7, Media Gallery combines both functionalities into a single page.
