The requests in the default folder are in the reverse order about docgen

[abhijitnathwani]

Thanks @thedevsaddam . The -s flag sorts lexically now.

However, the default behavior is still ordering in reverse. We can verify that by checking the sequence in collection.json and the generated output. Should I open an issue to track that?

[tahayk]

still having same issue, any idea how to solve this ?

[FabienSailliet]

Same under Linux with v2.3 and the same collection.

I tried to quickly look over the code, but I don't know Go, so I will not be really useful, sorry.

I found the code part that does the sorting. I'll create a pull request to add a command line switch to enable/disable collections sort :-)

[Enrico204]

@FabienSailliet can you check if this problem is fixed in the latest version? Thanks :-)

@Enrico204 I checked - the sorting problem is still there today. -s switch is visible in help and accepted. But it does not change the reverse sort order. It is reproducible with the original test json posted by @FabienSailliet
Docgen version: v2.3

[abhijitnathwani]

@Enrico204 @thedevsaddam This problem is still persistent. Do we have any solution for this?

[thedevsaddam]

@abhijitnathwani , Hopefully, it will be solved by next release [v3.0.0]. There will be major changes in UI.

In the case of directory or requests ordering:

• The default will be as it shows in postman
• -s flag will sort the items (directory, requests) in lexical order

[thedevsaddam]

Please use the latest v3.0.0-rc

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thedevsaddam/docgen/v3/install.sh -o install.sh && sudo chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

I'm closing the issue. If anything goes wrong, please feel free to create an issue or reopen

[thedevsaddam]

The default order is using parent directories in order but the children are going out of order

Note: Probably I'll need a PR for that :(

Update: Removed the s flag, from now on the collections will be in lexical order by default

I'm also still seeing sorting not following the same order of the requests in the collection by default:

I used the Mac binary 3.0.0-rc2 - https://github.com/thedevsaddam/docgen-bin/blob/master/latest/mac_amd64

[thedevsaddam]

The collections are ordered alphabetically,
a-z etc
