Our client is using Umbraco 3.0.6 and has a significant number of news items. Recently, when looking to sort them the popup sort box only shows the first 120 nodes.
Is this a limitation in Umbraco?
Is there an easy way round it (a setting maybe)?
Before I test it out, does anyone know if this limit is removed in V4?
Can't comment on the limitation, however I would recommend you sort the nodes into folders.
It must be very difficult and slow to work with 120+ nodes on a single level. You could think about implementing an action handler (in v3 or v4, although the implementation will be different) that, OnPublish, creates a relevant subfolder (category/date) and moves the node into it.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Sadly I can't enforce the folders policy and the client does not want to spent development time looking into this. They just wanted to sort the news items that they have.
Does anyone know if V4 has this bug/feature before I go through the upgrade process.

@ Chris: You can also use AutoFolder for this.
@Jeroen: You almost can.
You can't re-organise content with AutoFolder as it only works with new content, maybe in a later release. I've added this request to my roadmap.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Sadly I can't enforce the folders policy and the client does not want to spent development time looking into this. They just wanted to sort the news items that they have.

In v4 I have a folder with 306 nodes in it, that sorts just fine. I can't really say anything about v3 as I've never actually used it.
I don't suppose this is a browser specific problem? Have you tried other browsers?
(update:... you can now reorganise existing content into folders with AutoFolders 2.0)
V4 has a completely redone sorting dialog, so the issue is solved by upgrading to V4
Hi Per,
Thanks for the response. We are going to be upgrading to v4 soon, so that's excellent news.
Cheers
