Please forgive me if this is resolved somewhere else, I've spent countless hours
trying to figure it out.
But is there not a way to edit the following snippet to make it list the pages in the
given space alphabetically??
{{spaceindex space="<space name here>" /}}
I've tried all kinds of things including the suggestions at
http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/sorting-of-space-index-macro-td7549725.ht… and
wasn't able to get it to work.
It seems like it should be something really simple to do, I just can't figure it out.
Or if there's another way to get an ordered list of the REAL pages in the space that
would be great. I want to use it on the webhome of the space, so I don't want it
cluttered up with everything in the Document Index, just the actual pages.
I can live with it showing web preferences and the webhome pages.

So you made the change suggested by Sergiu and the list of pages still
wasn't ordered? I think the reason is because Sergiu suggested to
retrieve the list of documents ordered by their name but then when the
list is displayed the *rendered* document title is used instead. This
is a bit tricky because the rendered document title is dynamic, not
saved in the data base, so you can't retrieve the list of documents
ordered by their *rendered* title. I see 3 options:
(1) display the document name instead of the document title
(2) retrieve the list of documents ordered by their *static* title and
display it (but some documents might not have a title set or the title
could contain Velocity code)
(3) sort the list of rendered titles (after retrieving the list of
document names), but the order will not be consistent when you have
pagination (if there are many documents in that space).
Hope this helps,
Marius

Ha! Thanks! You made me look further into the document titles and I discovered that the
reason they weren't sorting correctly had to do with the case of the first letters in
the title. The lower case ones get bumped to the bottom of the list making it seem out of
order. Once I went in and renamed them it all worked out. I knew it had to be something
simple I wasn't doing. Thanks again!
