Sorting NodeTypes

How can I determine the order of my NodeTypes (in which order they appear in the backend if I want to insert a new node). For every NodeType I have a single YAML file.

I don’t think we ever made that sortable in any way.

Ah ok. Then I can stop searching for it

Wait, why, isn’t it sortable by “ui.position”?
In theory they should even support now the full power of positional array sorter.

Yes, of course they are sortable:

'Your.Package:SomeNodeType':
  ui:
    position: 100

It is not using the PositionalArraySorter internally though, so you can only specify numbers here not position: 'before Some.Other:NodeType' for example.

Strange. It is not working with my Neos 3.3.

Maybe your nodetype is not in the group you are expecting? position: in the first ui: option is working for me. Another reason could be that other nodetypes have the same position.

@bernhard ui.position allows to change the order. Here’s an example:

github.com

code-q-web-factory/Neos-Skeleton/blob/master/DistributionPackages/CodeQ.Site/Configuration/NodeTypes.Content.Headline.yaml#L7


'CodeQ.Site:Content.Headline':
superTypes:
  'Neos.Neos:Content': true
ui:
  label: Headline
  icon: icon-header
  position: 200
  inlineEditable: true
properties:
  title:
    options:
      silhouette: 'codeq.text.title'

Did that solve your issue?
