Hi All,
I have a problem using the PDF-Export feature within XWiki. Using the includechilds
option I am exporting all pages within one space. This should be done using an alphabetic
sort order. But apparently the sort order is different. Maybe it's the creation date?
Does someone know how this works and where I can change the sort order for PDF-Export
with multiple pages (including the ToC feature)?
If you
check http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HCustomiz… you
can see that the file containing the code is pdf.vm
I’ve checked this file and when includechilds is used it calls #includeChildren() from
macros.vm which calls Document.getChildren(). I’ve read that code’s impl and it does
this:
Query query = getStore().getQueryManager().createQuery(
"select distinct doc.space, doc.name from XWikiDocument doc where
"
+ "doc.parent=:prefixedFullName or doc.parent=:fullName or
(doc.parent=:name and doc.space=:space)",
Query.XWQL);
As you can see there’s no sort in that query, which means the documents will be returned
in the other in which they’ve been added to the DB AFAIK.
If you wish to have a sort order you should file a jira issue for that at
http://jira.xwiki.org (or customize your pdf.vm but I think what you’re asking is a valid
use case which could benefit the product).
Thanks

Thanks and with best regards,
