Unexpected behavior of Sort column

    I am seeing an expected behavior when I click on sort column in the legacy folders’s page:

    All the pages in my folder are set to a non-zero value. When I click on the sort column I expect pages to be sorted in increasing/decreasing order by the value in the order column. But this is not happening, instead, it looks like pages are getting sort by the title.

    Why is that?

    Feature Request:
    * Show value of order attribute for each page while listing pages in the folder.
    * Right now you are displaying paginated list of pages. But if you display all pages in the folder at once, it would be very easy to change the page order at a later date. I know It may incur some performance cost, but it is helpful to view all the pages at a glance rather than wading through paginated list of pages.

    I hope you get the idea

    Hi @geoworld99,

    I apologize for the confusion. The sort column you’re referring to allows pages to be sorted within a folder independently of the page’s order attribute. In other words, the plugin does not change the page order attribute. This is by design to allow pages to be organized differently in the admin (if desired) than they are on the front-end.

    The legacy folder page inherits the pagination setting from the main Pages screen so, if you’d like, you can increase the number of pages by going to the Pages screen, clicking on “Screen Options”, and changing the number of items per page.

    One other thing to note: the legacy folder page is from an older version of the plugin before folders were integrated into the main Pages screen. We’ve left it as an option for people who may have been using it in the past and still want to use it; however, we’re no longer making enhancements to that screen.

    Hope this clears things up. Let me know if I can answer any other questions!

    “Screen Options” did the trick, my bad I didn’t notice it before.

    Thanks for your work ??
