Reorder Blogs

[Anna Le]

Has anyone been able to find out a way to reorder blog posts from the blog macro?

Hi Anna,

Using the Blog Posts Macro, which I think you are referring to, you can sort posts:

• Sort By
  (sort)  - 

  Specify how the results should be sorted. If this parameter is not specified, the sort order defaults to descending order (newest first) based on the creation date. 
  
  Values:

  • title — Sort alphabetically by title.
  • creation — Sort by the date on which the content was added.
  • modified — Sort by the date on which the content was last updated.

• Reverse Sort
  (reverse)  - 

  Select to change the sort from descending to ascending order (oldest first). Use this parameter in conjunction with the Sort By parameter. This parameter is ignored if the Sort By parameter is not specified.

  In storage format and wikimarkup a value of true changes the sort order.

Regards,Can you let me know if that's what you're trying to do? If not, could you elaborate on what you're using and what you're trying to do?

Hey Shannon, 

Thanks for your response. What I am referring to is the actual page tree once you have clicked on the the blog posts. 

On other spaces where pages are created, it allows you the option to reorder the pages. However, I can't find out how you can reorder blog posts. 

See screenshot below.

Thanks, Anna

Anna,

The blog posts are listed in order of posting date, and it's not possible to reorder those.

There is a feature request to be able to change the date of the blog post:

• CONFCLOUD-11740

It's possible that if this were to be implemented, then when you change the posting date it might change the order in the sidebar.

I would recommend that you vote on that request, and leave a comment there with why changing the order of blog post dates are necessary to your organization.

Otherwise, I would recommend creating those posts as pages instead, since it's currently possible to reorder those.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon

I notice sometimes the Blog tree seems to move around.  Does that happen for anyone else?
