Can nav be sorted by date? #85

Closed Andre601 closed 9 months ago

Andre601 commented 10 months ago

I would like to sort pages based on date, by which I refer to page meta.

Does the plugin support this?

Currently there's no support for sorting by date. Just to be clear, you mean a date in the frontmatter like so?

Yes. Tho, now that I look a bit closer do I feel like this option wouldn't help my case anyways.

Currently try to sort a nav object's pages list by date (or some other attribute). And while awesome-pages does change the order in the displayed nav, does the pages list seem unaffected by this change and still return entries in the original order (based on filename).

You can find my current struggles on this here in case you have any input...

Yeah, this plugin is for customizing the navigation. To sort pages for your timeline, you're better off doing that without this plugin. Good luck with your project!
