Automatic reorder pages lost

Christian Bell

Hello,

I have within a space subpages below a page. There are 40+ items there until now, growing.

Until recently when a new page got created, it was ordered alphabetically into the tree. This was great.

However, somehow this stopped working. I now need to go to the space settings frequently and click on the A-Z button.

In stackoverflow, I found this info:

"When you drag a page to a new position, the order of the page family changes to Manual. Newly added pages will not be sorted alphabetically, but will appear at the bottom of the list."

But how do I revert back to alphabetical auto sorting?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Christian!
As you have noticed, this behaviour in Confluence has changed. This change comes with the effort to provide drag and drop capabilities to the page tree.
This was recently implemented and you can take a look the post giving more details about this change here:
