Is it possible to change the sort order of nodes in the content section so that they are sorted alphabetically as opposed to having to drag them where you want them using the sort function. More to the point I would like to only sort the childs of one node alphabetically so it is easier for the end user to find what they are looking for. If this is possible does anyone know the process or doing so? Many thanks
You can do this quite well by using the AfterSave eventhandler. This is however rather processor intensive and will slow down a save/publish, especially when there are a lot of nodes to sort.
Maybe you are better of with the alphabetfolder / autofolder packages, they can create an alphabet folder structure automatically for you.

Excellent, thanks Sebastiaan, that looks like it should do what I want. I think I stumbled across those before but completely forgot about them.
