How do I organize Confluence Documents within a folder alphabetically by default?

[Brady Olson]

Look to alphabetically organize a folder within my space. All guides are outdated and looking for some help.

[Grace Lee]

Pages within a space don’t automatically sort alphabetically by default, but you can manage this using the Page Tree macro on a parent page, which can be configured to sort pages alphabetically, or by manually organizing pages in the Space Sidebar to keep a consistent order. If you want a fully automated solution, some teams use add-ons from the Atlassian Marketplace, since Confluence doesn’t offer a global default sort.

Once you get to here, what is the toggle to sort pages alphabetically?

[Trisha Griffis]

Confluence doesn’t use traditional folders, but can organize pages under a parent page and then use the Children Display macro to list them alphabetically.

• Edit your parent page.
• Insert the Children Display macro.
  
  • In the macro settings:
  • Set Sort by = Title
  • Choose Ascending for alphabetical order

This will display all child pages (your “folder contents”) in A–Z order automatically.

I am on the parent page, do I use the Automate function?

Or do I use the edit function and then look for child pages within the parent page?
