### Sorting Is there a way to have the generated maps sorted by *title* instead of *filename* when show=title is used? Thanks -- Thiana > [[bugs/map_sorts_by_pagename_and_not_title_when_show__61__title_is_used]] --[[Joey]] ---- Question: Is there a way to generate a listing that shows *both* title and description meta information? Currently, a \[\[!map ...]] shows only one of the two, but I'd like to generate a navigation that looks like a description list. For example: * This is the title meta information. This is the description meta information * This is another title. And so on ... Is that possible? --Peter ---- The site I'm trying to set up right now (not really a wiki - no public editing) is divided into topics. Topics are pages that have `\[[!meta link="/topic"]]`. Topic pages contain an index of their subpages (done with `\[[!inline]]`); the subpages are the real content. I want a map in the sidebar that lists: * all of the topics; * all of the first-level subpages of the *current topic only*. That is, if the current page is "Topic A" or "Topic A/Page 1", then the map should look like Topic A Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Topic B Topic C but if the current page is "Topic B" or one of its subpages, then the map should look like Topic A Topic B Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Topic C On the top-level index page, or on any other page that is neither a topic nor a subpage of a topic, the map should list only the topics. Is there any way to do that? I don't mind mucking around with `\[[!meta]]` on every page if that's what it takes. -- Zack > I think that you're looking for this: > > `pages="((Topic*/* or Topic*) and ./*) or (Topic* and !

I have `map pages="./* and !*/Discussion and !*/sidebar"` and a bunch of pages with names like 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 1/1.1, 12/12.3 etc. I want to sort them numerically. I see lots of conversation implying there's a simple way to do it, but not how. > No, you can't: map can't currently use a non-default sort order.
