On the "Create New" screen, I'd like to influence the order in which the options appear, but I'm hitting a dead end. Presumably, I'm dealing with this hierarchy of templates: * ui/src/main/webapp/defaults/html/createnew.html * * ui/src/main/webapp/defaults/html/pages/CreateNewTemplate.html ...but then the trail runs cold as to where `<div class="csc-createNew-recordRow"></div>` is populated from. Thoughts on where to go from here? Is it in the Java code of the application somewhere? Peter -- Peter Murray Dev/Ops Lead and Project Manager Cherry Hill Company

Hi Peter, The next place to look would be js/CreateNew.js. The code there will fetch the available record types from the app layer, and render them into the templates. I'm not sure what the "right" way to do this is. I think ideally you'd want the records to appear in the same order that they're specified in the *-tenant.xml files, but that might require changing the app layer Java code, the format of the uispec/uischema generated files, and the JS code -- too much work. You might be able to hack something together just in the JS. You're going to have to figure out how Fluid Infusion works, it's not fun. I suggest putting in some breakpoints in your debugger; the buildModel and prepareModelForRender functions look like good candidates. Look at the value of that.model, which is the data model that gets rendered.

Oof. That doesn't sound like fun. At quick glance, it looks like the thing I'd be needing to look at might be here: https://github.com/collectionspace/ui/blob/master/src/main/webapp/defaults/js/CreateNew.js#L158 <https://github.com/collectionspace/ui/blob/master/src/main/webapp/defaults/js/CreateNew.js#L158> ...but I don't have the time to chase through looking for it now. I'm putting this one in the backlog -- maybe it will be clearer when I get more experience with the UI layer.
