Sort things

When an Origami template shows data from a folder, by default it’s sorted by file name.

haiku.ori

${ Tree.map(poems/, poem.ori.html) }

http://localhost:5000/haiku.html

  [lamp.md]
  The lamp once out / cool stars enter / the window frame
  – Soseki, Natsume

  [noOne.md]
  No one travels / along this way but I / this autumn evening
  – Bashō, Matsuo

  [poppy.md]
  I write, erase, rewrite / erase again, and then / a poppy blooms
  – Hokusai, Katsushika

To sort by a data field, use Origami’s sort function.

haiku.ori

${ Tree.sort(poems/, (poem) => poem.author) 
-> (sorted) => Tree.map(sorted, poem.ori.html) }

http://localhost:5000/haiku.html

  [noOne.md]
  No one travels / along this way but I / this autumn evening
  – Bashō, Matsuo

  [poppy.md]
  I write, erase, rewrite / erase again, and then / a poppy blooms
  – Hokusai, Katsushika

  [lamp.md]
  The lamp once out / cool stars enter / the window frame
  – Soseki, Natsume

Now sorted by author!

For an arbitrary order, create an object with the file names in the order you want them.

ordered.ori

{
  poppy.md
  lamp.md
  noOne.md
}

This can go in the folder with the files.

Use that object as your data source, and the template will use your order to list things.

haiku.ori

${ Tree.map(poems/ordered.ori, poem.ori.html) }

http://localhost:5000/haiku.html

  [poppy.md]
  I write, erase, rewrite / erase again, and then / a poppy blooms
  – Hokusai, Katsushika

  [lamp.md]
  The lamp once out / cool stars enter / the window frame
  – Soseki, Natsume

  [noOne.md]
  No one travels / along this way but I / this autumn evening
  – Bashō, Matsuo
