    Page weighting (aka sorting navigation menu)

    Hi guys,

    I just watched a tutorial on how to sort News items, and I thought - "maybe I could apply this to my menu". Currently, my menu is in disarray, it needs sorting into some sensible order.

    Currently I have..

    Home | Contact Us | Site Map | News | About Us

    If I wish to rearrange this, could I not edit the Xslt file and add the following?



    pageWeight is a custom Property I have created which is numeric. I assigned the following

    Home = 1
    About Us = 2
    News = 3 etc etc

    but my menu remains in the same order, have I just got the logic confused, is this even possible to do?

    Regards, Garry.

    Hi Garry,

    Change

    [code] [/code]

    into

    [code] [/code]

    pageWeigth is a custom property and therefore always wrapped in a node...

    Hope this helps,

    /Dirk

    Brilliant, thanks very much. Is this the normal way to sort a menu or is there built in functionality?

    Garry,

    You can also sort menu items (nodes) via the Umbraco GUI. Right click on your content / home node and select Sort! Then you can drag-drop to arrange the order. Easy!

    Actually, since page-weight is numeric you will probably need to specifiy the data-type as "number" get the sorting working as you would expect:

    [code] [/code]

    If you don't specify the data-type then the sort would be text, which wouldn't work once you had numbers greater than 9!
