I have created a custom module in magento 2 and its layout file is located in 

app/code/Learning/RewriteSales/view/adminhtml/layout/sales_order_view.xml

but the system loads the layout from 

vendor/magento/module-sales/view/adminhtml/layout/sales_order_view.xml

instead of my custom layout file.

How can i override this vendor layout file with my custom layout file?

the complete code of sales_order_view.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">

                    </arguments>
    </referenceBlock>
</body>

but the module does not take this layout.

  • Add your complete code of RewriteSales module. – Suresh Chikani Oct 13 '16 at 8:24

inside module.xml file, you have to declare dependency of core module,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Vendor_Modulename" setup_version="1.0.0" active="true">
        <sequence>
            <module name="Magento_Sales"/>
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>

You have override your xml file at right place,

app/code/Learning/RewriteSales/view/adminhtml/layout/sales_order_view.xml

Inside your file, you have to just keep only required code to work your custom layout file inside body tag of xml file.

Demo for set different template file,

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">

    <body>       
        <referenceBlock name="column_name">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Modulename::mycustomfile.phtml</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>

</page>

You have to first check if any log error are generated for this layout.

You have to just clear cache and remove var folder.

if you are overriding layout xml of any core module you should mention sequence in module.xml like this :

<module name="vendorname_modulename" setup_version="1.0.0">
    <sequence>
        <module name="Magento_Sales"/>
    </sequence>
</module>
