im possible to get the list of host members using the link below:
backend/?cmd=gethostgroupmembers&orderby=host_name:a

but is not able to sort it in and host_name ascending order.

how to achieve that?

The orderby is PHP, not a URL. You will need to use the document provided to build a component.

You could also potentially build a dashlet, but I don't believe we have a document for that. We do have https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf going over the basics though, which may help.

basically what im doing is calling get_xml_hostgroup_member_objects() to get a list of hostgroup and members in xml, passing brevity=3 as my argument and is thinking of passing orderby argument too but is not able to achieve the ascending result that i want.

Not very sure how to do it in a php way too as the return is a xml data.

Can you post the PHP you have so that we can take a look? Also, you may want to take a look at XSLT: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xsl_intro.asp
