## Code

```php
add_filter( 'edd_admin_sale_notification_subject', function ( $subject, $order_id ) {
    $order = function_exists( 'edd_get_order' ) ? edd_get_order( $order_id ) : false;

    if ( ! $order ) {
        return $subject;
    }

    $customer = edd_get_customer( $order->customer_id );
    $name     = $customer && $customer->name ? $customer->name : $order->email;

    return sprintf( 'New sale: %1$s from %2$s (#%3$s)', html_entity_decode( edd_currency_filter( edd_format_amount( $order->total ), $order->currency ) ), $name, $order->get_number() );
}, 10, 2 );
```

## Notes

Change the wording in the sprintf line; only the admin sale notification is affected.
