I agree that this behaviour has puzzled me for some time, and I have been meaning to submit a bug report.
I think it is a bug because it is inconsistent and unexpected. Everywhere else name means page name, and group means group name. If I wanted order by group I would say order=group,name, I always say order=name in the expectation that sort will be by page name. As a long time user of PmWiki I am actually surprised to hear it behaves like this, and bet few more recent users of PmWiki would understand this behaviour. http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageLists#pagelistorder is clear that order is by name. I suggest that rather than changing the documentation we change the behaviour. Happy New Year Simon On 3 January 2011 08:01, Patrick R.
