[TYPO3-dev] Alphabetic menu sorting with Fluid

[Mark Howells-Mead]

Hi all

I have a tricky menu problem, which I hope someone else may be able to advise on. v:page.menu in Fluid allows one to output a regular menu, using the regular page sorting defined using the tree structure in the backend. However, one section of the menu I’m creating contains subpages which need to be sorted alphabetically.

For example

• About Us
• Products
• Glossary A-Z
	• Apples
	• Bananas
	• Currants
• Contact

This is usually no problem, but the website is multilingual and because the site uses a single tree structure (so that direct language switching is possible), the menu order for the alphabetic section is wrong in the second language, thus.

• Glossaire A-Z
	• Pommes
	• Bananes
	• Raisins

I can add a field to “Glossary A-Z” in the page settings to say that subpages should be sorted alphabetically, but I haven’t found out how to do the actual sorting for that specific set of subpages. Has anyone come across this requirement and solved it?

Many thanks
