Can I have new pages sort to the top of the folder instead of the bottom?

Question

When I create a new page it always places it at the bottom of the current folder.  This is usually not a problem but I've been doing a lot of "weekly meeting notes" type pages recently and I like to keep the most recent ones at the top.  Currently, I have to move the newly created page to the top of the folder.

Is there a setting somewhere that causes new pages to be sorted to the top of a folder instead of the bottom?

Yes, this is what I was doing in the days before "folders".  However that only sorted the items on the Parent page and not actually in the directory itself.  :(

Hey there @Jeroen Poismans ,

Unfortunately the Sort button is not a "default sort" and will not persist, so it's a one-time operation and newly created contents will still be added to the bottom of the Page Tree.

There is an existing Suggestion to implement this:

* CONFCLOUD-65454 - Reorder pages alphabetically (permanently)

Expanding on @Mia Tamm _Simpleasyty_ 's great suggestion - a similar alternative would be using the Child Items macro on a Parent page and add all Weekly Meeting Notes pages as children.

The macro allows for multiple sorting options such as 'Newest -> Oldest' as you want:
