Hi all,

I'd like to sort a view of nodes by the position of the nodes within the 
primary links menu. I found reference to a method that used computed field to 
calculate a weight. I'm not dead-set against using that, but thought this might 
be a good chance to write my first sort handler. I turned to the views docs and 
promptly found views_handler_sort_menu_hierarchy. I haven't delved much further 
except to triple-check that I don't see anything in the Views UI that seems to 
correspond to this sort handler. A quick grep of the class name indicates it's 
probably for books (which makes a lot of sense), though I can't think why it 
wouldn't also be open for other content types.

So my questions are:

1. Any comments from folk about the best way to achieve ordering of nodes by 
their position in the menu?
2. Has anyone used views_handler_sort_menu_hierarchy? Can someone explain why 
it's not available by default (at least for a 'general' content type)?

Thanks in advance,

Andy
