Sorting issue in "Children display" macro

Vignesh Suryanarayan

Past one week, I'm noticing an odd problem with the Children Display macro. When I view that macro in the "Preview" pane of a page that I'm editing, the pages are displayed in manual order (i.e., the order that they're actually sorted in in Confluence); but when I publish that macro to a page, the children are sorted in alphabetical order instead.

When I refresh the page, they appear in the right order for just a second, and then suddenly shift to alphabetical order.

How can this be fixed?

Hi @Vignesh Suryanarayan

Can you confirm, that you do not have any ordering in the macro?

Yes, no sort order set in the macro.

But you have manual ordering on the pages itself?
Can you try to manual reorder a page and try again?

yeah tried that, no luck.
