XML Export entities.xml migration pagetree, oder of siblings

Question

Dear All,

if I do an XML export in data center 8.5.6 I'm unable to find the "position" for the siblings when reconstructing the pagetree. I see the id - and parentId relation, but no sorting order between siblings (pages on the same hierarchy-level). The REST service returns a prop like "position" but I'm missing this in the xml export.

It's not the order the pages are saved into the xml, but when I'm recovering via the xml-file the wright order is beeing importat - magic for now...

any hints on this?

Regards,

Stefan.

Had some time to research...seems that the siblings are sorted by title, position - the position property is only available if a sorting by title (alphabethic) is not possible. so the combination of title then position seems to work in my tests...
