    Custom Sort Order for the Pages list

    I am trying to implement a custom sort order for the Pages list and I have done the following:

    Modifed to the Blog TestPage document type to include a Generic Property called customSortOrder. I have then populated this property on each page with a value e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc

    I now want to amend the BlogPages.xslt so that it sorts the Pages <ul> in the order of my customSortOrder property. However, I don't seem to be able to access the generic property. I added a sort element to the XSLT but it doesn't do anything:

      <xsl:for-each select="$parent/blogTextPage [string(./umbracoNaviHide) != '1']"> 
       <xsl:sort select="./customSortOrder" order="ascending"/>

    This is the first time I have used XSLT and Umbraco so forgive me if this is a really simple error on my part!

    Thanks!

    Barry

    Hey Barry,

    And can you output the customSortOrder ?

    simply with an <xsl:value-of select="./customSortOrder" /> inside your for each loop

    It doesn't produce any output - which leads me to believe I'm not actually selecting the property at all.

    Well this is strange. I went through each page and updated the Custom Property again and re-published each page and now it is working fine.

    Sorry to waste your time.
