You're right, I ran it as a Groovy script and this did the trick:

import com.liferay.portlet.PortalPreferencesImpl;
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.portlet.PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil;
PortalPreferencesImpl portalPreferences = &nbsp;PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil.getPortalPreferences([i]--USER_ID--[/i], true);
portalPreferences.setValue("com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet", "order-by-col", "title");
portalPreferences.setValue("com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet", "order-by-type", "asc");

Thanks a lot!I just wonder why there is no way to configure this in the portlet configuration, the admin panel or at least via config file. I'll ask for a Jira account and write a feature request here.

Hi
i dont think its will work adding in portal-ext.properties , it needs to added to database from below api.

&nbsp;PortalPreferences portalPreferences = &nbsp;PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil.getPortalPreferences(request);

&nbsp;&nbsp; portalPreferences.setValue("com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet", "order-by-col", "title");

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;portalPreferences.setValue("com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet", "order-by-type", "asc");

Thanks for your replay. I added the preferences to my portal-ext.properties (if possible, I want to avoid programmatical changes for this issue):

com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet.order-by-col=title
com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet.order-by-type=asc

After restarting, they appear in my Portal Properties (Server Administration -> Properties -> Portal Properties), but by default the Documents & Media still sorts by modified date. Am I missing something?

Hi ,You can try setting the portal preference with orderByCol ,

 &nbsp;PortalPreferences portalPreferences = &nbsp;PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil.getPortalPreferences(request);

&nbsp;&nbsp; portalPreferences.setValue("com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet", "order-by-col", "title");

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;portalPreferences.setValue("com_liferay_document_library_web_portlet_DLPortlet", "order-by-type", "asc");

Hi everbody.

We are using the Documents & Media portlet to offer a file space to our users.

By default, the portlet orders by "Modified date", but we want to change this default setting to "Order By: Title".I had a look at the portlet configuration, the control panel configuration, etc. but I don't see where to change this setting.

Maybe I'm missing something... can anybody please give me a hint?

Thanks in advance!
