Tobias Persson	Thursday 16 September 2004 5:58:58 am Hi, I have a javascript tree menu for navigation on my site. But I have a small problem. When I fetch the nodes for the menu, I would like to use the same sorting as the admin for all folders and subfolders. (like the sort_by, $node.sort_array, but here I would like $node to change so I get the correct sorting for all subnodes) Something like this (if I had choosen alphabethic sorting) I would like: Anode -- Asubnode -- Bsubnode -- RSubnode Bnode -- Asubnode2 -- Bsubnode2 -- Rsubnode2 Right now I think i get the result like this: Anode Asubnode Asubnode2 Bnode Bsubnode Bsubnode2 RSubnode Rsubnode2 Anyone understand what I mean? And maybe even have a solution :-) Thanks

If you want to have it sorted you need to fetch one level at the time. Mabye you can use the treemenu() template operator, this will do that for you. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc

Hi,

I have a javascript tree menu for navigation on my site. But I have a small problem. When I fetch the nodes for the menu, I would like to use the same sorting as the admin for all folders and subfolders. (like the sort_by, $node.sort_array, but here I would like $node to change so I get the correct sorting for all subnodes)

Something like this (if I had choosen alphabethic sorting)

I would like:

Anode
-- Asubnode
-- Bsubnode
-- RSubnode
Bnode
-- Asubnode2
-- Bsubnode2
-- Rsubnode2

Right now I think i get the result like this:

Anode
Asubnode
Asubnode2
Bnode
Bsubnode
Bsubnode2
RSubnode
Rsubnode2

Anyone understand what I mean? And maybe even have a solution :-) Thanks
