Hi All
the asset listing is working fine but i need to tweak something for example i got an image folder with three images
image 1
image 2
image 3
when i preview at the first instance the image shows up correctly , but when i decide to reorder these images inside the folder for example
image 2
image 3
image 1 and then preview the asset listing page, it doesn't reorder as what i want it quickly???
any idea or help will be grateful
I think if you set "Direct links only" to "Yes", it will return the assets in the order they appear in the tree. This would mean you can only list one level though.
The above is correct. It is only guaranteed to return by Asset Map sort order if "Direct Links Only" is turned on. Normally there are potentially multiple levels of children, and therefore sorting by sort order doesn't make much sense since all children are treated equally, regardless of level. By restricting it to the direct children of the root node, returning by sort order is possible.

Thanks both for your input over this issue, but unfortunately it doesn;t seem to work as i have given you the information below
Asset Locations
Root Node: Lauch of CIHA Images (Id: #19XXXXXX)
Root Node: Logic Assets must be a child of at least ONE root node
Defines how assets are managed when there is more than one root node displayed (either selected above, or through a replacement root node setting). If there is only one root node selected, then this option has no effect.
Direct Links Only Yes
If set to 'Yes', only directly linked assets of the root node will be printed (direct parents or children). Otherwise, all assets above or below the root node will be printed.
Lookup Direction Down the tree
Select 'Up the tree' to list assets above the root nodes, or 'Down the tree' to list assets below.
Minimum Depth/Height This optional setting only applies when Direct Links Only is turned off. If a number is entered here, assets must be at least this number of levels below/above a root node to qualify for listing. Immediate children/parents are considered to be at level '1'. Setting this attribute to 0, will include the root nodes in the results
Maximum Depth/Height This optional setting only applies when Direct Links Only is turned off. If a number is entered here, assets must be no more than this number of levels below/above a root node to qualify for listing. Immediate children/parents are considered to be at level '1'. Setting this attribute to 0 (with the minimum depth/height set to 0 as well) will only return the root nodes.
Link Types TYPE_1
TYPE_2
This setting only applies when Direct Links Only is turned on. Assets will only be listed if their link to a root node is of one of the link types selected here. The default is to show links visible in the asset map, that is TYPE_1 and TYPE_2 links.
Link Value The value provided in that field will be used to filter the assets returned. You will need to enable 'Link Value Filtering'.
Enable Link Value Filtering No
If set to 'Yes' and lookup direction is set to 'down the tree', only assets with the link value equal to the 'Link Value' field will be returned. If set to 'Yes' and the lookup direction is set as 'up the tree', only parents of children assets with the link value equal to the 'Link Value' field will be returned.
Cheers
:unsure:
There should also be a sorting option. Tree order will only work if it is set to "No Sorting". Just make sure you aren't sorting by something like name or date.
