Ordering pages alphabetically in Manage Pages view

Hi Team

We are creating pages using scheduler and https://opensource.hcltechsw.com/digital-experience/CF223/extend_dx/apis/model_spi/model-spi_rest_service/ REST APIs.

Right now pages are inserted one after another whenever we create pages. We want pages to be alphabetically sorted in Manage Page view. i.e. /wps/myportal/Practitioner/Administration/Sites/Pages.

We know that pages are sorted according to ordinal by default. There are 3 questions?

  1. Is there any way we can configure label or page so that the child pages are sorted alphabetically?
  2. Is there any parameter that we can pass to REST API so that page can be ordered alphabetically?
  3. Is there any parameter that we can pass to REST API so that we can set our own ordinal for the page?

The Managed Pages portlet does not allow sorting by title/name of the page at the moment.

You can use the Model REST API to specify what it's next sibling is - for example if you specify in the link below it will create the page as previous sibling of ibm.portal.Home.Getting Started.

That way you can specify the order of the pages created under a common parent.

<atom:link portal:uri="cm:oid:Z6_00000000000000A0BR2B300AT6" portal:uniquename="ibm.portal.Home.Getting Started" href="/wps/mycontenthandler/!ut/p/digest!9LzBM7HnvAlCSo9Z1iMC5Q/cm/oid:Z6_00000000000000A0BR2B300AT6?levels=2&amp;rep=compact" rel="next" type="application/atom+xml"/>


Hi Thomas Hurek

Will this work for update request (PUT) also? I tried it but its not updating the sequence, but it does work for create request (POST).
