Re: [xwiki-users] xWiki - Change Navigation scheme

Lets see if I can beat that :p Which XWiki version do you use? I see there are some changes in 7.2 which might be relevant (or maybe they are not ;) Anyway, I think the confusing concepts here are page name and page title. The page name is the one that actually shows up in the URL, and that you can change by the "Rename" action for the page. Sorting by page name is possible (and as far as I understand this is the default behaviour of the documentTree macro used in the panel). The page title is the one displayed as headline on the page itself. Sorting is done by page name instead of page title for the same reason why sorting on live table entries by title is not possible; see: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Why+is+it+not+possible+to+filter+on… I can only suggest the following less than perfect options: * If you do not mind that the results are sorted by the title "as stored in the DB" instead of the "displayed title", or at least your users find this slightly less confusing, then you can edit the sort order: see "#macro (getDocumentsQuery)" in XWiki.DocumentTreeMacros change the "order by doc.name" to "order by doc.title". * If you know that pages will not have so many children that you need paging, instead of using the sort order from the DB, you can sort them differently in memory on the server. for this see #macro (getChildren $nodeId $return) (in XWiki.DocumentTreeMacros, too) replace the last line: #setVariable("$return" $children) with: #setVariable("$return" $sorttool.sort($children, "text")) this will go quite wrong when a page has more than 10 child pages and the other children need to be fetched later (i.e. paging will still work, but the next chunk of pages will not be "sorted as expected") (Note: we recently here got the same problem with a multi-language wiki, as there the pages looked as "sorted at random" in all but the default language; we used the first option, because most users do not create pages with velocity content in the title, and they find it ok if some page which are "preinstalled by the system" behave a bit magic :p ) anyway, that is just want come to my mind. anyone else has better ideas ?
