I like to have rendered html page go by following sequence exactly.

Code: Select all

hostgroups             siteA,linux,non-prod,business
But I found "business" will showup in the web page as first one.

This really isn't going to be possible, unless you modified the C that actually does the sorting. One work around, is to put a number before your hostgroup names. For example -

Code: Select all

hostgroups             siteA,linux,non-prod,business
would become -

Code: Select all

hostgroups             1siteA,2linux,3non-prod,4business
This would then be displayed like so -

Code: Select all

1siteA
2linux
3non-prod
4business

It would most likely be in cgi/status.c. Without knowing the specific page you're referring to, I can't say for sure.
