how to sort children of children

[ngrmm]

this is my code

$gp = $pages->get(1016);
$children = $gp->children;

foreach($children as $child) { 
      $articles = $child->children;
      foreach($articles as $article) {
      …
      }
}

i want all articles to be sorted by title (asc)

i tried this:

$articles = $child->children('sort=title');

but the sorting happened too early

an this doesn't work also (too early)

foreach($articles->sort('name') as $article)

The secret is to adapt the selector to get all the pages in one go. Try this:

$gp = $pages->get(1016);
$children = $gp->children;

$articles = $pages->get("parent={$children}, sort=title");

thx diogo
 

$gp = $pages->get(1016);
$children = $gp->children;
$articles = $pages->get("parent={$children}, sort=title"); 
			 
foreach($articles as $article) { 
	echo $article->title;
       }

but it doesn't work

maybe because $children is an array?

The secret is to create a nice selector and use the API correctly. $pages->get() returns a single page, whereas $pages->find() returns a page array.

/**
 * has_parent=1016 selects all children and grandchildren of the page with id = 1016
 * parent!=1016 excludes the children (first generation)
**/

$articles = $pages->find("has_parent=1016,parent!=1016,sort=title");

Oops sorry, I had a get where it should be a find.

Hello,

I have a parent page template that i'm attempting to make the parent page content be a list of the title/links of all of the parent's children and have it sort the output in alphabetical order.

this is the template:

<?php 

 

// basic-page.php template file 

// See README.txt for more information

 

// Primary content is the page's body copy

 $content = renderNavTree($page->children ("sort=Title")); 

 

The Problem is that the rendering of the page does not list the children in alphabetical order.

Can you help me understand.

thanks,

[Christophe]

Hello,

Try by using title instead of Title.

Thanks Christophe, that worked!
