eZ publish 3 gives you the possibility to sort your content in different ways. You can sort an article by path, by publication/modification date/time, by priority etc. If you want to sort the contents of a folder, click the "Edit" button on the folder itself. Then you will get the "Edit folder - Folder name" page. Use the "Sort by" drop down menu and decide in what manner you want to sort your content.

Let us say that you want to sort it by Priority. Highlight "Priority" and click "Send for publishing". Back in the Folder page you will now find a new box on the right hand side with a "0" inside. Now you decide the different objects' priority by typing 1,2,3,4 etc in the boxes. When you have prioritised the objects you click the "Update Sorting Priority" button and you are done.

The sorting decides in what way your content will be displayed when published.

• Path: sort by path
• Published: sort by publishing date/time
• Modified: sort by modification date/time
• Section: sort by sections
• Depth: sort by item depth (in sitemap)
• Class identifier: sort by class identifier
• Class name: sort by class name
• Priority: sort by user-defined priorities

You can also decide if you want to sort in a ascending or descending order by the arrows to the right of the sorting drop down menu.
