[nodebb-plugin-category-sort-by-title] Alphabetical topic sorting.

[yariplus]

@silvia Thanks, it seems to be working for me.

Could you open the plugins' admin page and click on the Reindex Topics button, then check the NodeBB log for errors?

Also, results of git rev-parse HEAD

Thank you.

@dread What version of NodeBB are you on?

The plugin is outdated. I can push out an update tomorrow.

[dread]

Fine.cool) I am on v1.5.4.

[yariplus]

I think you mean 1.6, there is no 1.5.4. Anyway, I'll get it fixed asap.

[dread]

@yariplus

I just wanted to ask if you're still working on or updating this plugin. I posted an issue on github a couple of months ago, concerning disappearing topics:

https://github.com/yariplus/nodebb-plugin-category-sort-by-title/issues/2

Alphabetical topic sorting would be super helpful for us, but unfortunately the plugin is unusable with this issue. It would be nice to know, if I can expect something happening here.

Thanks!

@yariplus

I just realized what the problem was. As soon as I hit "RE-INDEX TOPICS" in the settings, there weren't any disappearing topics anymore. So I guess the index wasn't complete.

How often is the index running automatically? Should I do this manually on a regular basis?

[yariplus]

@AlexG Hey! Sorry, I missed your issue. I'm no longer actively maintaining any of my plugins, but feel free to poke me on GitHub any time.

As far as re-indexing, it does this exactly once. When the plugin is installed. Normally, there should not be a need to do it more than once, but if there was any error during re-indexing, or if a very early version was used, it could be required.

If new topics are now correctly sorted, then everything should be working fine. Otherwise, poke me again on github and I'll take a peek.

Thanks!

[AlexG]

@yariplus No worries and thanks for your reply now. It seems to be working fine now after re-indexing. Thanks!
