How to sort Servicerocket Scaffolding content-options?

Mike Pearson

I'm using the Servicerocket Scaffolding "content-options" macro within a "list-data" so that the listed options are the children of a given page.

I'd like to be able to sort these in descending order.

I've tried to put a "text-sort" macro inside the "content-options" body, but to no avail.

Is it possible to sort the content-options?

Hi Mike,

By default Content option Macro will sort them alphabetically, for the moment is the only way.

Text Sort is a macro only available for Reporting plugin.

Sam

Thank you for the prompt reply @Samuel Gatica _ServiceRocket_.

So there is no way (or workaround) to be able to populate a list-data dynamically with sorted options?

I was thinking something like creating a sorted report, and then somehow injecting into the list-data or content-options body. ...but if this is a fruitless avenue please let me know so I'm not wasting my time experimenting.

Somewhat related: what about filtering? Is it possible to populate a list-data options with child pages that meet a certain criteria? For example all child pages where data:Status = "Closed"?

NOTE:

This WAS possible back when you could use wiki-markup. For example the following worked:

{list-data:MyList}
{content-options:parent=SR:Records}
{text-sort:page:title|order=descending}
{content-options}
{list-data}

I'm surprised that this functionality was removed with the deprecation of the wiki-markup, as it is incredibly useful!

Mike Pearson

I've confirmed that sorting AND filtering of content-options is possible in previous versions of Scaffolding & Reporting (v3.4.2), using wiki markup.

However, now, even using Bob Swift's Wiki Markup for Confluence plugin to enter the exact same wiki markup that worked previously, it appears that you can no longer sort nor filter the content-options.

Why was this functionality removed? It is SO useful!

Is there somewhere I can submit a feature request to have this functionality reinstated?
