TXP 4.0.4: txp:section_list and sort order

With two recent TXP deployments necessitating a sorted section list, the ability to specify the order was one of the first things I checked when upgrading to 4.0.4.

This is the tag I’m using:

<code><txp:section_list wraptag=“ul” section=“about,news,collections,feeds,contact” include_default=“1” section_title=“Home” break=“li” /></code>

The list is not shown in that order, however. It’s shown alphabetically as…

1. About
2. Collections
3. Contact
4. Feeds
5. News

Also, the wiki suggests that adding the value for section_title will include default with that title. That doesn’t appear to work, either. The default is included, but with the site title.

What’d I forget? :)

I don’t see section_title as an attribute, I do see default_title which if not specified returns the sitename by default, if you set it this way ( default_title=“default” ) it displays “default” as the section name; if I understand you correctly.
I’m not sure what to tell you about the sort order, I can’t find a way to change or specify it as different than alphabetical.

First, it is default_title, not section_title. Secondly, the attribute is sections not section (with an “s”).

Does it work after those corrections?

Yep. Correct attributes make all the difference. Thanks, Mary!

@rsilletti: Txs 2u2. You can specify the sort order by listing them in section*s* in the order you want them displayed.
