CMS and Ordering

Design help General
1

Hello! I designed my Portfolio with the help of a friend who recommended and built it using CMS elements.
One design choice I made was in the site menu, to show the year a project was made. When they built the site, they used that field as a way to organize projects so the newest ones are at the top. Logically this makes a lot of sense, but I’d like to remove that indexing feature because I have older projects that I’d rather be at the top of the list. Seems like it’s not applied to my Personal Portfolio, but I’m not sure.

To clarify, still want the year field there to show when it was made. Don’t want the feature that re-orders them based on that information.

HERE is a sandbox link so you can see what I’m working with. I’m not super advanced in webflow so I’m not sure how to adjust this stuff.

Hi there,

To help you maintain the year field display while removing the automatic date sorting in your Collection list, follow these steps:

  1. Select your Collection list on the canvas
  2. Go to Element settings panel > Collection List Settings > Sort order
  3. Click the trash icon next to any existing sort order rules
  4. Click Save

This will remove any automatic sorting while maintaining the year field display.

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Interestingly enough, there aren’t any collection settings that say to sort it that way. Could it be custom code?

Hi Jacob, I took a very quick glance and didn’t see any sorting on the collection list.

That means you’re either unsorted, probably seeing items in the order they were created, or you’re sorting the DOM manually using custom code. I’d ask your friend first- there’s a fair bit of code in there.
