Currently the list of topics can be sorted by replies, views and activity.
What about sorting by title?
Example: Here are some user guides I have created for users, I used a nomenclature for the titles. It would he helpful if the users could sort on title.
Iâd like that feature, too. In my case, it is for a category with topics that Iâd like sorted by date as each topic has a video recording of a council meeting and it would easiest to digest them in chronological order in terms of finding meetings and having a sense of what is going on in the town.
I found a work around if anyone else reads this thread looking for how they can sort their topics in a category in chronological order of some sort. See this thread:
Just wanted to cross reference a post of a user asking for support as they had a difficult time finding a meeting thread in a category. If sorting be alphanumeric was available, this would not be an issue for us.
Here is the category in question:
Hi,
The ability to sort a topic list alphabetically by title would also be helpful for when Discourse is deployed as an intranet.
For instance, in MacOS, Windows, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. âsort by nameâ is a default or common way to organize files. When Discourse is being used for a staff directory, to provide easy access to policy documents, to provide notes from a regular meeting, and for other common use cases in an intranet, âsort by nameâ would be a natural and preferred way to organize content within a Category.
Iâd use this to list topics tagged #recommendations.
Currently I manually maintain an âindexâ topic with links in alphabetical order to individal recommendations topics, and an automated index page with alphabetical sorting by title would save me a lot of time
This would be amazing
Alphabetically sorting would also be useful for me,
Iâm building a directory with the tags and i beleive it would be worth to sort the dentists per title.
I would force them to add there name first
I donât see why you shouldnât be able to sort by any column label in the list:
You can currently sort by replies, views, and activity⊠why not topic as well?
This feature was removed after it was pointed out that the alphabetical sort is nonsensical for the Latest view.
For a knowledge base, consider using the /docs view of the Knowledge Explorer plugin instead?
Are there any plans to ever bring back alphabetical topic sort again?
Not at the moment, I can see in the context of docs though that makes sense. Docs - Discourse Meta. Indeed docs does allow you to sort alphabetically.
