Hi all,

Does somebody know if i can change the Sort Ordinal property of a
posting or a channel by programming.
I saw that there is Get and Set on the property SortOrdinal, but when i
try to write on it, it doesn't work (when i open the site manager, it
didn't sort how i wanted).
I also tried to do an "update" directly in the database of the CMS, in
the table "Node" but it doesn't work and it's a little dangerous to do
this.

I would want the users to be able to change the order of the postings
and the channels of the site without opening the Site Manager. Does
somebody has an idea ?

Thanks for your help,

Estelle

Hi Estelle,

yes this can be done.
In SiteManager you will not see the effect.
Even not in code if you don't use the SortByOrdinal method on the
collection.

About your directly modifying the database:

You successfully managed to get an unsupported system.
Any direct modification to the database causes the application to become
unsupported.

See here for details:

Stefan
