hi folks,

Has anyone tried to sort the results in the views of the path browser, by name or by modified date?

Hi @fionas76543059 ,

You need to overlay

/libs/cq/gui/components/common/pathbrowser/pathbrowsercolumn/pathbrowsercolumn.jsp 

to

/apps/cq/gui/components/common/pathbrowser/pathbrowsercolumn/pathbrowsercolumn.jsp

and implement the required logic. Please refer the logic on below article: https://aem-dev.blogspot.com/2016/?m=1

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Santosh

hi @fionas76543059, There is no OOTB functionality to sort the results based on name or date. You can provide rootPath property to start your search from that path.

If you check the jsp of the pathbrowser only attribute you can define are as below

 

"id", "class", "rel", "title",
"name", "value", "emptyText", "disabled", "required", "validation",
"predicate", "rootPath", "optionLoader", "optionLoaderRoot", "optionValueReader", "optionTitleReader", "optionRenderer", "autocompleteCallback",
"crumbRoot", "pickerSrc", "pickerTitle", "pickerValueKey", "pickerIdKey", "pickerMultiselect", "rootPathValidSelection",
"icon", "fieldLabel", "fieldDescription", "renderReadOnly", "ignoreData"

 

Hope this clarifies.
