Sorting inherited template fields












2















I have a page template inheriting from base templates.



enter image description here



But when I go to edit those from Experience Accelerator, Page metadata, Other dialog, they are in a strange order. It seems like its grabbing the first item from each template, then the second item from each template and so on... but not in the displayed template order above.



enter image description here



I tried applying sort order but that only applies to the content editor tree - it has no impact on this dialog at all.



I want each block of fields below to remain as a block together, so it makes more sense when editing.



Using Sitecore 9.1 and SXA 1.8.

  • You need to use different section names. List, Pair and Links for instance, instead of Content.

This dialogue is not the most flexible of sorts. But what happens is, it shows an aggregate of your templates and their fields, with little way of controlling the order they appear in.



One thing you can do however, is organise the fields under different section names. You currently use Content for all of them, meaning all the fields will end up in the same grouping.



By organising the fields differently, e.g. use List, Pair, and Links, as section names - this dialogue will organise the fields more to your liking I believe.



And yes, you can use the __Sort order on the section items to control the order of how these sections appear in the dialogue as well.

            Knooppunt Holsloot

            Image
            Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
