Confluence Docs 3.0 : Setting a Page Family to Alphabetical Order
This page last changed on Aug 06, 2008 by smaddox.
You can choose to display your Confluence pages in alphabetical or manual order. This page tells you how to set the pages within a family to alphabetical order. On this page: About the Sequential Order of PagesConfluence allows you to present your pages in any order (sequence) you choose. The position of a page is reflected in the following places:
Alphabetical versus Manual OrderBy default, Confluence will present your pages in alphabetical order. When you move a page to a different position, the order becomes manual for the affected page family.
Now let's consider what happens when you add a page to a page family, by creating a new page or by moving or copying a page into the family:
Changing the Page OrderYou can change the order of the pages by moving pages within the page family — simply move the page to its new position while editing the page (see Moving a Page) or while viewing pages in the space's 'Tree' view (see Moving Pages within a Space). You can also change the order of a page-family from manual to alphabetical (see the 'Setting Page Order to Alphabetical' section on Setting a Page Family to Alphabetical Order). Setting Page Order to AlphabeticalIf the pages in a page family have been ordered manually, you can reset the page order to alphabetical as described below. A page family is a set of pages under a single parent page. In this section, when we say 'page family' we mean the immediate children of the parent page, not including the grand-children. The screenshot below shows a family of pages in non-alphabetical order under the parent 'Sample Page'.
