I have an issue with folder naming. I have over 100 pages/folders in a subfolder, and I named the folders 001.xxx to 1xx.xxx thinking it would work OK. However, when I edit 001.xxx in Grav and save the page, Grav creates a new folder with the name 01.xxx. And when I remove the leading 0’s on the f…

I suggest that Grav makes a rule that all folder order numbers before the dot have a fixed number of digits. Most likely the number of digits before the dot would be 1, 2 or 3. I doubt if it would be practical to have over 999 folders. Grav could easily determine that number by looking at any fol…

It appears that I just need to make sure there are at least two digits in the folder order number. I tried a three digit number, and when I saved it in Grav, it appears to work OK. That’s good.

[image] Number of digits in folder numeric prefix? Support I’ve imported my existing blog content into Grav, and there are more than 100 posts already in there. The old blog posts were imported with numeric prefixes which are 3 digits in length. For my new posts, Grav use…

@Karmalakas I am using Windows 11, and the Bulk Rename Utility works great to modify folder names. I know there are other ways of doing it too. You could fairly easily modify the prefix numbers to work correctly. From what I can tell, it looks like Grav needs two digits for 1-99, so 1 needs to b…

Could you share a use case for such a huge amount of specifically ordered pages?

I do not know precisely what you need to do, but I had all my page folders in one folder and then used the Bulk Rename Utility to modify the prefix numbers. You can select which folders you want to modify. For example, if you had some folders that have 3 digits in the prefix and some with 2, you c…

I’m not asking how you did it :slightly_smiling_face: I’m asking why would you need such a huge amount of pages ordered so specifically :face_with_monocle: I honestly can’t imagine a scenario where this would be required

We have a home in a community of around 1500 residents with a Home Owners Association (HOA). I’ve created a number of Google Sites in an effort to help the residents of that community. However, Google Sites does not allow one of their sites to be private unless all the users have a Google account …

Sorry, but this still doesn’t explain why would you need these service providers to be listed in a specific custom order. Can’t they be ordered alphabetically or by date when they were added?

The natural, logical way to order the categories is alphabetically to make it as easy as possible for the user to find what they are looking for. Within each category, each service provider is also listed alphabetically.
