Ordering/configuring the sidebar

[dweng0]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in sorting the contents of the sidebar by alphabetical order. I took a look at the yml file specified in quarto-web, but it didn't look like it could be done. So thought i'd ask here.

In addition, I'm also interested to know if it is possible to define a folder as a subsection of a sidebar item.

Using the quarto site yml as an example, instead of this:

contents:
        - section: "Guide"
          href: docs/guide/index.qmd
          contents:
          - section: "Authoring"
            contents:
              - docs/authoring/markdown-basics.qmd
              - docs/authoring/figures.qmd
              - docs/authoring/tables.qmd
              - docs/authoring/diagrams.qmd
              - docs/authoring/videos.qmd

You could do something like this

contents:
        - section: "Guide"
          href: docs/guide/index.qmd
          contents: 
          - section: "Authoring"
            contents:
              - docs/authoring

Whereby we instruct _quarto to list everything in the folder rather then manually declare it? (I have of course tried the above example i gave, it doesn't work).

This should be supported now (added in Quarto 1.3, so if you aren't seeing the correct behavior I would check the Quarto version that you're using and confirm that the glob you're providing does correctly match files).

HTH!
