Table of Contents in alphabetical order?

Yannik Pipek May 22, 2019

I want to get my Table of Contents sorted alphabetically and not by the default document order. Any way to do this?

HI @Yannik Pipek ,

This is not possible in Confluence. Atlassian has had suggestions to add the functionality in the past but decided that it would not be added.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Its quite sad though as it would have saved me a ton of work and made navigation much more easy.

So very much agree. What a shame.

I would like this as well.

Optional Approach

I used the Table of Contents Macro. I then copied the results to an Excel Sheet, sorted the data, and copied / pasted back to the Confluence page as a Table. I then removed the Table of Contents Macro.

Yes, if I add or remove items, I have to repeat the process. Yet, if you are not changing the information that often, you at least have your table in sorted order.

I would love to see this feature in the Table of Contents as well.  For documentation purposes, it would be much easier to see the topic listed in alphabetical order, and then have the user click on the content and have Confluence take the user to the topic on the page.
