Link to previous/next article alphabetically by title (not date)

The <txp:link_to_prev> and <txp:link_to_next> create links to the prev/next article by date posted.

But I would like to link to the prev/next article sorted alphabetically by title.
Is that possible and if, how would I go about it?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers Martin

Hi Jukka,

I might suffer from a total brain lock here, but wouldn’t your suggestion just output a complete article listing sorted by title?

Just to avoid any confusion, I want to display

« (previous article) | (next article) »

links at the bottom sorted by title in an individual article context.

Yep, you’re right, I missunderstood. Also, notiful thing is that sort doesn’t effect the individual order.

Then ya could try jra_links that allows sort in previous/next links.

Yes, jra_links did the trick!
The only thing I miss is it doesn’t display the actual titles like the built in txp tag can, only a generic <previous | next> is possible.

Would be a nice feature to have :-)

Thanks Sven,

I’ll check it out.
Interesting, another plugin that isn’t listed on the resources site. I wonder what other goodies are somewhere out there.
