Arranging Apps

[Dave Swift]

Is there any way to arrange apps?

(Maybe I'm missing something obvious, it wouldn't be the first time!)

As far as I can tell, they don't show up with any logical order that I can deduce. They're not listed alphabetically, last created, last updated, etc.

I'd love to be able to group them together such as Websites, Utilities, External Links.

Thanks for any insight!

You can do it with groups, states or domains from the funnel icon next to the search bar.

I think it's alphabetical by url of the app - subdomain.domain.tld

[Dave Swift]

I'm trying to setup dashboards for clients. Using filters isn't ideal.

They aren't alphabetical by url either.

[robi]

@Dave-Swift clients only see their own apps by the groups you put them in.

From there they're [a-z] by subdomains and searchable.

@Dave-Swift said in Arranging Apps:

They are, on mine anyway.

I am in the same situation as @Dave-Swift. I have suggested something like this earlier on:
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/62547

I am hopeful this earlier feature request could be relevant here too.

[girish]

Yeah, currently, there is only tags and search . Primary way to quickly find an app is 'search'.

[jdaviescoates]

Yeah, use Groups and Search for now.

[Dave Swift]

@timconsidine There are on some of my dashboards but not others. I can't make sense of it.

[robi]

@Dave-Swift there may also be a difference if you use labels for some apps and not for others who just have subdomains.

[Dave Swift]

@robi Here is an example.

(I marked up the image with the subdomain and first letter of root domain.)

[jdaviescoates]

@Dave-Swift that is odd. Mine are all in alphabetical order of subdomain or domain if no subdomain is used.

[robi]

@Dave-Swift Clearly you're using labels, not just the sub domains. See what happens if you empty the Mautic label.

Are you using any tags? See if the tags are [a-z] too and make a difference in the sort order.

[jdaviescoates]

@robi said in Arranging Apps:

Clearly you're using labels, not just the sub domains

Hence why he added the url info too.

I also use labels on some apps, doesn't seem to effect their ordering (although I think maybe it should so that my app labelled eBook Library would be under E instead of B for books.domain.coop )

[necrevistonnezr]

Upvote from me for preferential sorting by labels instead of URLs (if they have been assigned)….

[nebulon]

So the apps are sorted after filter by fqdn so this is the full qualified domain name, essentially the (sub)domain the app is installed. Now since some apps in the screenshot do not have a "Running" status, I wonder if those are just applinks?

[Dave Swift]

@nebulon yes they are app links, there are more cloudron apps on the next line.

Arranging them, like a phone's "home" screen, would be a really nice feature.

I'd also like the ability to add "Groups" like an Uptime Kuma status page.

[nebulon]

I will move this to the feature request section as I guess the feature is to implement a more versatile grid system here where the admin and/or user can arrange similar to a desktop.

I just started using app links and it doesn't seem to be sorting app link apps by their subdomain or by label, weird behavior. Label would be my preferred sorting order if possible.
