List Order

[Tiffany]

When users add pages through a list element they are entered in, in
the opposite direction of the nav manager. So when I call a nav area I
created through the list the order is upside down. How can I fix this?

Hmm, I don't know if there's a fix for this at all: RedDot always
attaches new items in lists and containers at the top while Navigation
Manager always sorts it top down.
The only way to fix this would be the use of RQL. But there's no "page
created" event, where you can attach your RQL script to. So I think
this would be quite tricky. We hat this issue quite often but no
solution sofar.

So I really would appreciate any hint on that matter. ;)

Short answer is to resort the navigation index.

Long answer.....There are two indexes in CMS - The standard list index
and the nav man index. Yes - unfortunately one is top-down order and
the other is bottom-up ordered.

You can either get users to sort the navigation order or if you are
outputing the list on the page then use render tags to display it
rather than just putting the list placeholder on your page.

e.g. here a normal list on a page:

<!IoRangeList>
<li><a href="<%list_mylist%>"><%hdl_headline%></a></li>
<!/IoRangeList>

And here's the render tag version:

<reddot:cms>
<foreach itemname="item"
object="Context:CurrentPage.Elements.GetElement(list_mylist).Value">
<htmltext>
<li><a href="<%!! Store:item.GetUrl() !!%>"><%!!
Store:item.Headline !!%></a></li>
</htmltext>
</foreach>
</reddot:cms>

In SmartTree, you can change the Sort Order Settings on the list, so
that it populates top down. Sort order settings can be found in the
Content Class or on the page itself.
