Sorting paginated pages by date

support

I’m creating a content type of Events. Each event has a start and end page parameter. I haven’t been able to sort by that page parameter so I tried introducing the date variable to try to sort by that without any luck. Can you help me reverse the order of my events for my list page?

Template attempts

{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Data.Pages.ByDate.Reverse "Section" $section) 7 }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Data.Pages "Section" $section).ByDate.Reverse 7 }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (sort (where .Data.Pages "Section" $section) "start" "asc") 7 }}

There are no errors in the terminal, and the order of the events never changed.

Please read Requesting Help and share your project’s code, so other may assist.

Tried cloning your repo but it’s over 7GB so that’s not an option for me.

Try removing .Data (untested)

{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Pages.ByDate.Reverse "Section" $section) 7 }}

That will be the same.

Most of the variants above all looks correct.

Give this a whirl:

{{ $pages := where .Data.Pages "Section" $section }}

{{ $sorted := $pages.ByParam "start" }}
reverse:
{{ $sorted := ($pages.ByParam "start").Reverse }}

{{ $paginator := .Paginate $sorted 7 }}


{{ $sorted := sort $pages "Params.start" "asc" }}

also seems to work.

It turned out Hugo was rendering the page with a different template than I thought it was using…

Once that was straightened out I used @pointyfair suggestion with success.

{{ $pages :=  where .Site.Pages "Section" $section }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate $pages 7 }}

ul.card-list
  {{ range sort $paginator.Pages "Params.start" "asc" }}
    {{ .Render "summary" }}
  {{ end }}

{{ partial "pagination.html" . }}

You nees to sort them before you paginate them.

If I try to use this solution in _default/list.html template I get undefined variable "$section".

Is there anything I am missing here?
