Using custom modified date for sorting

[cronhill]

Hej guys,

I try to do a Last modified List with a custom meta data. The meta data is named: Changed.

The input value is in this format: 2021-05-06. I put the field in the meta section like this: Changed: 2021-05-06

I use the pages loop to get the pages:

`

{% for page in pages("", depth=3)|sort_by("meta.changed")|reverse if not page.hidden %}
• {{ page.meta.changed|date("Y/m/d") }} {{ page.title }}

    {% endfor %}    

`

And the value of changed is displayed correctly. But I can't sort after it.

I tried different values for sort_by like page.meta.changed, meta.changed or even changed, but nothing happens.

The list is nort sorted. I would appreciate help! I am a developing designer, not a designing developer. So I tried to find the best out of Pico Docs and Twig Docs, but it doesn't helped me, I worry.

Thanks for help and regards, Thomas

Until you register the YAML header using a plugin (onMetaHeaders event, see DummyPlugin) or your theme's pico-theme.yml (key meta, see example), you must use key Changed (note the uppercase C) to access this meta value. Also note that Pico's sort_by Twig filter expects [ 'meta', 'Changed' ] as parameter.

    <ul class="list--pages list-unstyled">
        {% for page in pages("", depth=3)|sort_by([ 'meta', 'Changed' ])|reverse if not page.hidden %}
            <li>{{ page.meta.Changed|date("Y/m/d") }}  <a href="{{ page.url }}">{{ page.title }}</a> </li>
        {% endfor %}    
    </ul>
