Sort articles in category by Creation Date

hello,

I can move up and down articles in category but how can i list articles when i
hit url: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/category_alias.html by Creation Date?

thanks for any help

Contao doesn't use categories, and also articles are not stored in categories, but on pages. huh?

there is a german extension called Artikelfilter in the german Repository. Maybe its helpfull in case you understand the german language

thyon: yes i wanted to say 'pages' not 'categories'
stefan-at-work:thanks i will try the module :)


For a quick fix i modified the core code(not so good for upgrades)

system/libraries/Controller.php Line:208
(MODIFIED):$objArticles = $this->Database->prepare("SELECT id FROM tl_article WHERE pid=? AND inColumn=?" . (!BE_USER_LOGGED_IN ? " AND (start='' OR start<$time) AND (stop='' OR stop>$time) AND published=1" : "") . " ORDER BY ". $GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['articleSortingBy'] ." ".$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['articleSorting'])
->execute($objPage->id, $strColumn);

system.config/config.php
(ADDED):$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['articleSortingBy'] = 'tstamp'; //sorting,tstamp
(ADDED):$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['articleSorting'] = 'DESC'; //ASC, DESC
