Alphabetical Order

AEM has an intuitive, easy-to-use authoring interface. But sometimes, what looks good in demo can require a little refinement.

The Problem

AEM has 3 different views of content:

  • Column view
  • List view
  • Card view

This is true for both assets and webpages. While these views are easy to understand and intuitive, they also have some pitfalls once you start using AEM at a larger scale:

  • Newest content always first (not alphabetical order)
  • Loading 40 items at a time and lazy scrolling
  • Unable to view filename/webpage name in card view
  • Unable to view alias property 

Meaning, while the demo looks great, once you have more than 100 items in a folder it becomes much more difficult to work with AEM.

What We Built

We fixed this minor flaw in AEM. We added support for:

  • Default alphabetical ordering
  • Loading 500 items at once (instead of 40)
  • Displaying the filename as well as the alias property
