Page Properties Report not sorting all entries

[Alexandra Sim]

Hello,

I have to create a page properties report with a huge number of pages, therefore for "Number of items to display" I have picked 10 due to page layout limitations.

However, when I try to sort the table, only the 10 out of 100 pages are sorted. The 10 on the current page. 

This is a problem because some of the relevant pages can be on page 9 of the page properties report and people would never find them. 

Is there any way to circumvent this issue? Is anyone working on solving it, or is it pretty much hopeless? 

Thank you.

Short answer, there is no way.

Long answer is that the sort function is not a part of the macro, but javascript (I think) running on the page. In other words, the table sorting is a builtin function of Confluence running on the rendered table  -- meaning only those items displayed are sorted, not the underlying data.
