Is there a way to configure a resource to not use the primary key :id? It looks like it attaches an order by ID on the end of the default list function and passing sort_attr: to the use macro doesn’t seem to solve it 
Basically I want to override this notification: live_admin/lib/live_admin/resource.ex at c51284282c94edf3965fabd5aa1eed8cf17c16f7 · tfwright/live_admin · GitHub

Unfortunately there’s no way to currently override just the sorting logic, you can however write your own implementation of the list function and configure list_with to use that. The build_list function you link to is the default implementation, so you could copy that and just change the sort line. Just note that the config function takes slightly different args (resource, opts, session) vs (resource, opts, repo). Hope that helps!

Thank you,
I implemented a custom list_with which sidestepped the sort issue but it appears the LiveComponent is using the :id key for a data-attribute which crashes the view

I opened an issue, Support alternate primary keys / remove assumption of `:id` key on struct · Issue #88 · tfwright/live_admin · GitHub I didn’t know how to concisely title it so feel free to change it. Thank you for your quick responses!

The long awaited… 0.12
-
Options validation/documentation
Mostly responsible for holding up this release. Required a complete rewrite of how options are managed internally. Goal was to clean up the supported options, make the data structures more consistent, and to add some documentation around exactly what is supported.
-
Action/task arguments, annotations
The most interesting addition in my opinion. It is now possible to configure actions/tasks to take an arbitrary number of extra arguments. To do this, pass an mfa with the name and the number of arguments the function expects. LiveAdmin will then launch a modal to prompt the user to enter the extra arguments before executing the function. Example from demo app: allow overriding the user’s password. Also, just adding docs to the function will also cause LiveAdmin to launch the modal with docs content instead of the default JS alert.
-
Async list fetching
Minor change taking advantage of async assigns recently added to LV. List view will now fetch records in the background while displaying spinner so view does not appear frozen during slow queries.
I had hoped to launch 1.0 by the 2 year mark (
) but I have decided to wait until I can give the UI the makeover it deserves. Speaking of which, if you have string CSS/Tailwind skills and want to volunteer to freshen up LiveAdmin’s look please DM me! I can’t offer much more than props, but expect a shoutout in the README at the very least (and if you are a LiveAdmin user with opinions about UX I would be receptive to proposed changes beyond simple styling).
