How to sort contents based on published month and year
Hi All,

I am having several posts in my blog and I want to add Archive on my side bar which will be categorizing the posts based on month and year.

I am able to fetch all the unique months with year on my sidebar but I am not able to figure out how to display my posts by sorting and grouping only selected month and year.

Example:

I am having the following in my sidebar right now.
- November 2014
- October 2014
- September 2014
- August 2014
- July 2014
- June 2014
Whenever user clicks on November 2014 I want to display all the posts which was posted on November 2014 irrespective of date and time.

I am using macro to achieve this.

Sidebar macro is something like this

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{

var blogs = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().DescendantsOrSelf("ArticulateRichText").OrderBy("publishedDate desc");

List<string> dateList = new List<string>();

foreach (dynamic blog in blogs)

{

DateTime dates = blog.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("publishedDate");

var month = dates.ToString("MMMM yyyy");

dateList.Add(@month);

}

List<string> uniqueDateList = dateList.Distinct().ToList();

<ul>

@foreach(dynamic uniqueDate in uniqueDateList)

{

<li><a href="@uniqueDate">@uniqueDate</a></li>

}

</ul>

}

How to achieve rest of the coding or is there any inbuilt method to achieve the thing that I am looking for.

Thanks & Regards,

Arun P K
