Current behaviour of the wiki Page Hierarchy seems to be to order sibling articles in alphabetical order. Under the Hierarchy browse-menu in the wiki-page-nav left panel, the current page's parent, children and siblings are shown. In the full Page Hierarchy reached from the Page Hierarchy link under the Page Collections browse-menu (also in the left panel), the full hierarchy can be seen from an expandable tree. In both those displays articles that share the same parent are ordered alphabetically.

In the Edit Mode of the page hierarchy users can move pages between levels but within those levels ordering is always alphabetical.

Feature Requests:

1- provide the ability to specify the order of articles that share the same level in the hierarchy

2- change the default order of pages within the same level to the order they appear on the page, rather than alphabetical

Either one or both of these would be beneficial to me. I see #1 as the more flexible of the two, but personally I suspect if I had #2 I wouldn't use #1 that much

Answer 1

I filed a feature request with the FogBugz team. Please upvote the question (not this answer) to show your support.

Answer 2

I second that request, having a hierarchy showing articles in fixed alphabetical order is not very useful for anything but the simplest projects.

Answer 3

My company is threatening to force Confluence on us because of this. Please find it in your heart to save us.

Answer 4

I hope this isn't a dead topic.

I'd really like to be able to put an Article Index on a page within a wiki and configure it to only show child articles of that page as opposed to ALL articles in the wiki, which is how things behave right now.

We just need help organizing our info and making it easy for light users of the system. We have folks that just come in to read stuff. They don't want to learn how to do searches, they don't want to make filters, etc. They are paying us to make things easy for them and they want information spoon-fed to them.

Please give me a spoon.
