1 Could you please add numerical ordering by title to [[inline|plugins/inline]]
2 plugin? Now I can do only alphabetical order by title, but sometime it's not enough.
4 BTW, it seems that ordering by title is rather ordering by filename of page.
5 For me "title" means title of page I can set using `title` parameter
6 of [[meta|plugins/meta]] plugin :)
8 Why do I need that feature? I've just been migrating an info site of our university
9 [mail system](http://poczta.uw.edu.pl/) to Ikiwiki from very static, console handling
10 Makefile+[WML](http://thewml.org/)+XML+XSL=HTML solution. I have many news files
11 (`1.mdwn`, `2.mdwn`, etc.) and unfortunately I did very stupid thing. I've commited
12 all of them in the same revision of our Subversion repo...
14 Now I have a problem with sorting these files using inline plugin. I can't do
15 sorting by age, because both old and young news files have the same age. I can't
16 sort by title too. For example, when I sort them by title, then `9.mdwn` page is
17 between `90.mdwn` and `89.mdwn` pages... It sucks, of course. Sorting by mtime
18 also is not a solution for me, because it means that I can't touch/fix old news
21 Do you have any idea how to workaround that issue? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]

26 >> Thanks for your suggestion! But what about if number of my news files grows to 100+?
29 >> 09.mdwn 100.mdwn 101.mdwn 102.mdwn 89.mdwn 90.mdwn
31 >> I don't want to rename all previous files to add `0` prefix. --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
35 Below is my simple patch. Feel free to use it or comment!
37 I have also 2 considerations for inline sorting:
39 1. Maybe changing name of `sort` parameter to `sortby` or `sortkey` will
41 1. Maybe you should use `title` sort key for title from meta plugin and `name`,
42 `filename`, `page` or `pagename` for page names? In the future you can also
43 sort by meta author, license or another key.
