I have a template that lists out children of a certain type.

<#list space.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('msi:event')]"] as child>

Is there a way to order the results. I need to order the results by a custom property in the display.

Could there be a way to do it with a Lucene query?

Thanks

Josh

Yes you can sort using the FreeMarker built-in:

<#list space.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('msi:event')]"]?sort_by(['properties', 'msi:myproperty']) as child> 
‍‍‍

Replacing 'msi:myproperty' with your custom property name.

Thanks,

Kevin

I should also mention that sorting is possible using our Lucene integration - but it is not exposed in the FreeMarker API yet.

Thanks! Works great!

How would I reverse these results?

Thanks,

Use ?reverse e.g.

<#list space.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('msi:event')]"]?sort_by(['properties', 'msi:myproperty'])?reverse as child>
