Cannot get content tree to update after custom sorting
Hello.

I'm trying to add a custom sorting routine for certain nodes when they are added or saved in my content tree. I am using the new API's with ContentService etc.

Here is my sorting method:
```
 int id = headNodeIdToSort();
        List<IContent> children = new List<IContent>();
        children.AddRange(ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetChildren(id));

        children.Sort(new AlphabeticCompare());

        for (int i = 0; i < children.Count; i++)
        {
          children[i].SortOrder = i;
        }

        umbraco.library.RefreshContent();
```
Everything works like a charm except that my content tree is not automatically updated, even though i am calling "RefreshContent()". I have to manually perform a "Reload nodes" in the backoffice to see the results of my sort.

Any ideas on how to get this to work without manual interaction?

Hello,

There probably is a new way of doing this, but with the old API this worked: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/gecko-uploadify/feedback,-suggestions,-bugs/13119-Reload-tree-after-uploading

Thank you Jeroen, the link you posted works for me. I also found a newer way of presenting speechbubbles but that did not give me the content tree refresh i am looking for. So untill i find something better to use i'll stick with this solution.

Edit:

I made a small error in my attempt to use the newer version to present a speechbubble. I tried again and got it to work by using the following code:
```
using Umbraco.Web.UI.Pages;
using Umbraco.Web.UI;
```
```
ClientTools ct = new ClientTools((Page)HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler);
```
```
ct.SyncTree(ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetById(content.ParentId).Path, true).ShowSpeechBubble(Umbraco.Web.UI.SpeechBubbleIcon.Save, "Nytt innehåll", String.Format("{0} har lagts till som {1}", content.Name, content.ContentType.Alias));
```
So now i can get my content tree updated without using old obsolete methods.
