Over the last couple of months we've worked a lot on support for ordering and sorting content and Webpop now allows just about everything to be ordered or sorted just as you want it.

In Webpop we operate with 3 types of dynamic content: Sections, Entries and Categories.

Sections are the mayor building blocks of a website and they're what really define your information architechture.

In the content panel of Webpop they're shown as the sitemap of your website in the left sitebar. Clients can't add, delete or move sections around, since they're the backbone of their website.

Each section can optionally have a collection of entries. A blog would have a collection of posts, a gallery would have a collection of photos.

Like with entries, each section can also have a set of categories. Categories can be ordered as a tree and each entry can belong to one or more categories.

Sorting it out

When looking at a list of entries or a set of categories, you'll get a little dropbox to control how this listing should be ordered. You can choose to order by date, by title or by drag'n drop.

There's also a new button called "Bulk actions." When you bring up the bulk actions dialog, you can delete, publish or recover entries or categories. If the ordering is set to "drag'n drop" you can also drag entries or categories to reorder the list, or even to rearrange the tree of categories.

The same bulk action dialog can be opened for the sitemap itself. Sections are always ordered in the sitemap by drag and drop and you can now easily reorganize your sitemap, just by dragging and dropping.

The drag and drop reordering also extends to the client interface. When viewing the miniform for an item on the website, your client can now click on the "Listing" link and get to the bulk actions dialog.
