Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-7975:
----------------------------------------
At some point [~radu.cotescu] and myself had a brief chat about ordering
resources. We came to the conclusion that it can't be
{{ResourceProvider}}-specific, since we have scenarios where we must order
nodes between various providers.
That being said, I would love to see a proposal that adds this kind of support
to Sling, as ordering resources seems a natural thing to do.
> Add a Java API for ordering resources
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-7975
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7975
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API
> Reporter: Jean-Christophe Kautzmann
> Priority: Major
>
> Sling should provide an API (e.g. in Resource, ResourceResolver or
> ResourceUtil) to order resources, similar to what the JCR API provides:
> [https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/spec/javax.jcr/javadocs/jcr-2.0/javax/jcr/Node.html#orderBefore(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String])
>
> This would help avoid having to use the JCR API.
>
> The implementation is already available at:
> [https://github.com/apache/sling-old-svn-mirror/blob/trunk/bundles/servlets/post/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/servlets/post/AbstractPostOperation.java#L411]
>
> It is only a matter of exposing it as part of the Sling API.
