Need to sort tags alphabetically.

There are 8 categories of tags that are included in the document library, which all correspond to tags in AEM. The child tags of those categories are displayed when you click the arrow on each category.

 

 

Apparently, these child tags are just shown in the order they appear in the JCR.  Is there a way to sort the child tags  in alphabetical order

    Write a OSGI service to do this sorting.

    There is one more approach you can try for:

    Add a beforesubmit listener in your dialog box and before data gets saved in JCR, sort it with JS

    Hi Harsha and Laura,

    I basically modified the OOTB component under /libs/cq/gui/components/common/tagbrowser/tagbrowsercolumn/tagbrowsercolumn.jsp, by overlaying it to my folder and modified the renderer (pointing to my project folder) in tags picker component under /libs/cq/gui/components/common/tagspicker/render.jsp (overlayed this as well)

    Udaya,

    which component did you modify and was that a .js file or .jsp file?  we are having similar need to sort tags alphabetically.

    I appreciate your feedback.

    Found a solution by overlaying default OOTB tagspicker component. Just changed the fetch logic in tagsbrowser component and it worked!

      Hi edubey,

      The solution given in this is not working

      http://experience-aem.blogspot.in/2014/12/aem-6-sp1-touch-ui-sort-and-show-tags-in-alphabe tical-order.html

      Screenshot

      The other solution which you suggested : before submit does not hold good for my scenario. My scenario is to show the tags in alphabetical order (while authoring, so thats it's easy for authors). Storing is not a concern for me.

      Another solution which you suggested is OSGI service. Can you please elaborate on that. Do u mean to write a service to reorder nodes and store it (in /etc/tags). Kindly advice.

      My scenario is to just show the tags in alphabetical order while authoring.

      To me looks like default AEM behavior, I would recommend to write simple n small piece of java code to sort these manually.

      You are using JSP or Sightly?

      Hi,

      Thanks for your reply. You see the tags are sorted while applying. But they are not appearing in order in the page. Attached is the screenshot
