Ordenar categorías usando SQL

The following code changes the order of categories to be alphanumeric using SQL.

Preconditions.
Postgres backend

UPDATE categories
SET POSITION = subquery.position
FROM (
	SELECT POSITION
	, CASE WHEN category_id = 0 THEN parent_category_id ELSE category_id END category_id 
	, CASE WHEN category_id = 0 THEN parent_category_name ELSE category_name END category_name 
	FROM (
		SELECT ROW_NUMBER - 1 AS POSITION
		, parent_category_id
		, parent_category_name
		, category_id
		, category_name
		FROM ( SELECT row_number() OVER ( ORDER BY parent_category_name, category_name )
		, * FROM (
		SELECT * FROM (
			SELECT id parent_category_id
			, name parent_category_name 
			, 0 category_id
			, cast('' AS text) category_name
			FROM categories 
			WHERE parent_category_id IS NULL ORDER BY name
		) parent_categories
		UNION 
		(
			SELECT child.parent_category_id
			, parent.name parent_category_name 
			, child.id category_id
			, child.name category_name
			FROM categories child
			INNER JOIN categories parent
			ON child.parent_category_id = parent.id
			WHERE child.parent_category_id IS NOT NULL ORDER BY child.name
		) 
		) parents_with_children
		ORDER BY parent_category_name, category_name
		) ordered_parents_with_children
		ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER
	) category_positions_sorted_alphabetically
) subquery
WHERE id = subquery.category_id ;

I ran the code by starting up a psql session.

/var/discourse/launcher enter app
su postgres
psql discourse

and then executing the SQL.

Running from rails console.

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("UPDATE categories SET POSITION = subquery.position FROM ( SELECT POSITION , CASE WHEN category_id = 0 THEN parent_category_id ELSE category_id END category_id , CASE WHEN category_id = 0 THEN parent_category_name ELSE category_name END category_name FROM ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER - 1 AS POSITION , parent_category_id , parent_category_name , category_id , category_name FROM ( SELECT row_number() OVER ( ORDER BY parent_category_name, category_name ) , * FROM ( SELECT * FROM ( SELECT id parent_category_id , name parent_category_name , 0 category_id , cast('' AS text) category_name FROM categories WHERE parent_category_id IS NULL ORDER BY name ) parent_categories UNION ( SELECT child.parent_category_id , parent.name parent_category_name , child.id category_id , child.name category_name FROM categories child INNER JOIN categories parent ON child.parent_category_id = parent.id WHERE child.parent_category_id IS NOT NULL ORDER BY child.name ) ) parents_with_children ORDER BY parent_category_name, category_name ) ordered_parents_with_children ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER ) category_positions_sorted_alphabetically ) subquery WHERE id = subquery.category_id")

I’ve not tested this recently but here’s at least a hint for how to alpha-sort categories at the rails console:

# alpha sort all categories matching search and their sub-categories

  def sort_matching_categories_and_subcategories(search)
    categories = Category.where("name like ?", search)
    position = 100
    categories.order(:name).each do |cat|
      position += 5
      cat.position = position
      cat.save!()
      c_position = 0
      children = Category.where(:parent_category_id=>cat.id)
      children.order(:name).each do |c|
        c_position += 5
        c.position = c_position
        c.save!()
      end
    end
  end


 # alpha sort subcategories of a single category matching search
def sort_matching_subcategories(search)
  categories = Category.where("name like ?", search)
  if categories.count > 1
    puts "Found more than one category"
  end
  categories.order(:name).each do |cat|
    c_position = 5
    children = Category.where(:parent_category_id=>cat.id)
    children.order(:name).each do |c|
      c_position += 5
      c.position = c_position
      c.save!()
    end
  end
end

Thanks @pfaffman

Based on your ruby code I came up with

def sort_categories_by_name(skip=0)
  
  parents = Category.where("parent_category_id is null")
  position = 0
  parents.order(:name).each do |parent|
    parent.position = position
    parent.save!()
    position += (1+skip)
    children = Category.where(:parent_category_id=>parent.id)
    children.order(:name).each do |child|
      child.position = position
      child.save!()
      position += (1+skip)  
    end
  end
  
  position += -(1+skip)  
  return position
  
end

sort_categories_by_name

Hola. Es mi primera vez aquí.
¿Este post aclara que las Categorías no se pueden establecer alfabéticamente mediante alguna opción de la interfaz gráfica?

Gracias

En cierto modo. Hay configuraciones para colocarlos en un orden fijo. Creo que primero debes configurar una opción del sistema (busca

Gracias. Solo soy usuario del foro Freephone y pregunté a los moderadores si podían cambiar el orden de la lista, pero la respuesta inicial fue consultar este foro para saber cómo hacerlo, por lo que imagino que claramente no es una opción disponible de inmediato.

Gracias de nuevo

A menos que haya docenas de categorías, simplemente no es un gran problema. Y si te enviaron aquí en lugar de buscar en la configuración ellos mismos o preguntar aquí por sí mismos, es que simplemente no quieren hacerlo.

Gracias de nuevo.

Creo que los moderadores no tienen acceso al backend, lo cual parece esencial.

Pienso que descargaré y alojaré uno, así que debería poder averiguar cómo hacer lo que quiero y compartir la información :slight_smile: Debe haber un administrador que pueda resolver el problema.

Parece que uno de los moderadores sabe cómo hacerlo, te avisaré. Se dice que se puede hacer a través del menú hamburguesa ??
