Hi,

is there a way to sort the documents root folders alphabetically in the content area? The function “Set folder sorting” is only available for the folders within the root folders.

Note: we are currently on bloomreach version 14.7.3

sort root folder in content alphabetically

Thanks

Hi @ms2024,

You can sort the root document folder alphabetically by going to the /content/documents node in the CMS Console and setting the frontend:orderChildFolders mixin. This is the same mixin that gets set when you use the Set folder sorting... option to Alphabetically in the CMS.

Hi,
This can be done but not from CMS, only through the /console app [1].
Select the “root folder B” folder below /content/documents and use the “Up” arrow.

This is for existing environments. For a local dev environment, there’s the .meta:order-before option in yaml, see [2]

Thanks for the quick replies. Both options worked for me
