[opencms-dev] NavPos arrows?

Hi Steve,

there are several collectors provided by opencms. By varying them you get a
small amount of different sorting options. One of those collectors is named
"allInSubTreePriorityDateDesc". It is evaluating the properties
"collector.priority" and "collector.date" to arrange the results. That might be
already your solution because news are often presented chronological.

There is also the possibility of developing your own collectors but I don't know
how laborious it is. Maybe Alkacon provides some new configurable ones with
version 8.

For providing sorting functionality to visitors in the front-end I'd recommend
javascript (if there's no list-paging in use). It's faster because no data
transmitting is required and it minimizes the problem of "duplicate content" for
SEO reasons. You can find a lot of relating stuff on the internet.

HTH
