      Check sort order:

      1. Install a new site.
      2. Check the current number of categories:
        `select count(id) from mdl_course_categories;`
        • We call it "NUM_OF_CAT".  If it is a fresh install, the  NUM_OF_CAT will be "1" (only Miscellaneous category)
        • We will use "NUM_OF_CAT" to calculate sort order values for categories and courses)
      3. Set $CFG->maxcoursesincategory = 20000 in config.php
      4. Create 2 categories: Category A and Category B
      5. Check the sort order of these two categories:
        `select name, sortorder from mdl_course_categories;`
      6. Verify:
        • The sortorder for Category A equals 40000
        • The sortorder for Category B equals 60000
      7. Create 2 courses in Category A: Course 1 and Course 2
      8. Check the sort order of these two courses:
        `select fullname, sortorder from mdl_course;`
      9. Verify
        • The sortorder of course 1 is equal to 40002 (Sort Order Of Category A + 2)
        • The sortorder of Course 2 is 40001 (Sort Order Of Category A + 1)

      Description

      In our moodle site, there are a category with more than 10 000 courses. It will be great if we can set MAX_COURSES_IN_CATEGORY in an admin setting instead of modifying lib/datalib.php file

       

      Regards

      {{

      {debugging("The number of courses (category id: $str) has reached MAX_COURSES_IN_CATEGORY (" . MAX_COURSES_IN_CATEGORY . "), it will cause a sorting performance issue, please increase the value of MAX_COURSES_IN_CATEGORY in lib/datalib.php file. See tracker issue: MDL-25669", DEBUG_DEVELOPER);}

      }
