categories alphabetize arrange alphabetically
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Currently, if you wish to alphabetize a category's articles, you have to navigate Articles > Category > (category) > Show Additional Options (which is buried in the far right in common text) > Content Ordering > Order Articles A-ZYou cannot currently edit a category to alphabetize from Dashboard > Articles > (Category) > Edit Category
There are two functionalities I would like to see added to this feature:
1) Move alphabetization to a prominent position. I would prefer it be its own button, actually, without even needing to navigate to Edit Category.
2) Fix the alphabetize option to actually work. Currently, if a list is long, it only seems to alphabetize about half the list or not at all. I don't know what kind of glitch it has that is preventing it to work, but it's not the weight system, I've tested it.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
1) Makes alphabetization of articles in categories, a feature that is requested often and constantly in forums, etc., easier to find.
2) Makes alphabetization of articles under categories work consistently.
What are other uses for this feature request?
The Team's Response
This is already a feature as mentioned above :) Also please keep in mind that categories, at this point, as per documentation, should not have more than 20 articles more or less.

on 2022-01-13 13:52I asked for something similar recently last month, I agree that the Order A-Z is not the most easy to find without knowing to look there. It is a feature that I like to use a lot. As for it only being 20 articles per category, I ask why? Perhaps I don't understand the backend, but shouldn't it just be a simple sorting algorithm?

on 2022-01-10 03:34This is already a feature and the docs clearly say that a category should have under 20 articles if you want the automation to work.
