Hello

When I'm creating subpage in CMS, page is added as last tree leaf (in menu also is last). I want to put newest pages at first positions, not last. So each time I'm adding page I have to move it to the first position (very irritating when there is menu subpages). Is there easy way to modify cms code to add pages default at first place?

I'm interested in doing this as well. Especially for a news section. The latest article should appear at the top.

Anyone knows how this can be done please?

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Can't say if this will work for new pages but you can specify a default_sort on Page.php which will display the pages sorted in a given order

Add this to your page.php, reload the admin with a ?flush=1 and see what happens

static $default_sort = "Created DESC";

Tho I think adding will append it always to the bottom, but try that and see what happens

Thanks for the reply, I want to display the pages by the date order they are in (my date field), not the creation date, though, also where abouts do you put the code,

if you could help with that, that would be great,

Thanks,

@ cbartgu - Put that in your PageType class, so if you wanted to add it to ArticlePage you would ahve the following:

class ArticlePage extends Page{

static $db = array(
'Date' => 'Date'
);

static $default_sort = "Date DESC";

function getCMSFields(){

etc.....

} 

}

Thanks again, I tried it but it does not change the child pages are still ordered by the id I think, this is what I have got,

class BreakPage extends Page {
static $db = array(
'Date' => 'Date',
'Category' => "Enum('cat1,cat2,cat3')",
'Price' => 'Text',
'KidsPrice' => 'Text',
'Hilight' => 'Boolean',
'Duration' => "MultiEnum('1 night only,2 nights,3 nights,4 nights,5 nights,Week Long')",
'Type' => "MultiEnum('Theme,Family,Adult')"
);

// an Article can have many Category objects associated with it.
// calling $this->getManyManyComponents('Categories') retrieves the associated Category objects.

// this classes default parent is an ArticleHolder page type
static $default_parent = 'ActivityHolder';

static $default_sort = "Date DESC";

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

etc

I also have a problem width this:
static $default_sort = "Created DESC";
or
static $default_sort = "Created ASC";
doesn't change anything. Running SilverStripe 2.4.

Does anyone have a clue why this happens? Could it be a default sort overriding the sort added to the class somewhere?
