Sort subsection...how to "unsort"?
Hi,

If you have choosen to sort child documents (like FAQ entries) then how do you change it back, so you can decide the sequence your self?

Hi Helena,

In CMS Desk, Content management (left side of window).

Example: Right click on a FAQ page and choose "Sort subsection", "Alphabetic A-Z".

That works OK, but then I can't to go back and choose my own sorting of the Q&A using right click "Up" and "Down".

"Up" and "Down" works OK, but the sorting remains the same.

Hi Per,


You have the default order configured in:

Site manager -> Settings -> Content Management -> Site: <your site> -> New document order (Alphabetical, First, Last)

It corresponds to sorting alphabetically or by date.

If you had a custom order it is lost once you have sorted the documents. You would need to change the positions manually (Up and Down).

Hi Helena,

I see, I put the question wrong, sorry!

I see how the sorting works in CMS Desk.

But how do I get the FAQ repeater to list the Q&A the same way as "CMS Desk" list them? I like to decide the order of the Q&A my self.

Hi Per,


you may use Order by property of that repeater. You can use NodeOrder here - it stores the position of node in CMSDesk.

Hi Per,


Repeater properties' documentation is here: Web parts documentation.

The attributes of documents which you can use in the conditions are columns of View_CMS_Tree_Joined view. You may see its documentation here: Database reference.
