Sitemap is not sorted well

[samuel-skean]

The site map largely consists of links to event writeups, but it's not sorted chronologically. Maybe it should be?

Feel free to close this without consulting me, I'm no longer even a student here.

I am not sure if we can actually have it sorted chronologically. We might have to have some format which stores date when the event occurred in the md itself and then parse it and arrange it but then everyone has to follow that

Its currently sorted with sort -V which sorts it according to any numbers that may appear in the text, ie 00, 01, etc. Either that flag can be changed, or the find command used to make a list of files can be tweaked to make it be sorted in order of last modified time. Both are easy to do and a good exercise in getting to know this system better

[SohamG]

I'd be in favour of sorting alphabetically so pages can be found easily by a human scrolling the page

Maybe we can sort by file creation time? Or, if we're assuming builds within a git repo, we can use the last commit ref timestamp as a "good enough" indicator.

[hmodi51]

yeah I would say if it can be possible to do it chronologically too

[SohamG]

Can try something like this: git log --name-only --diff-filter=A --no-notes --pretty='format:' -- content/| cat

File creation/birth time comes from when you run git checkout not from when the file was added to git unfortunately. And using modtime makes fixes/additions bump the article.

Or someone can go in and rename all the markdown/org files in the conf.d format ie 001-first.md and then itll be very easy.

I also think that Git is not designed/intended for an operation like listing files by first commit cause all the commands turn out long and complicated
