I’m not sure if that’s addressed to me or @Travis_Beckham but unfortunately I am not a very advanced Hugo user. I would need more information on how to walk through all my files and assign an ordered list of all the pages to a single variable.
As I mentioned earlier, I initially tried with {{ $pages := .CurrentSection.Pages.ByWeight.Reverse }} but this only worked inside a single folder and did not include the _index.md files.
