      The feature documented at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Changing+the+Sequential+Order+of+Pages?focusedCommentId=420184815&=#ChangingtheSequentialOrderofPages-Changingthepageordertoalphabetical is great, but it would be truly wonderful if reverse-sort were an option, particularly to support the Meeting Notes blueprint. Out-of-the-box use of Meeting Notes will produce a page tree that looks like this:

      • Meeting Notes
        • 2013-10-25 Meeting Notes
        • 2013-10-26 Meeting Notes
        • 2013-10-27 Meeting Notes

      It's pretty clear imho that it's much more desirable to keep the latest meeting notes on top, as in:

      • Meeting Notes
        • 2013-10-27 Meeting Notes
        • 2013-10-26 Meeting Notes
        • 2013-10-25 Meeting Notes

      But there is not a nice mechanism for making this happen without resorting to manual re-ordering. Imposing a simple reverse-alphabetical sort on the Meeting Notes child pages would do it (assuming an appropriate naming convention were used - like the one that the out-of-the-box Meeting Notes blueprint suggests).

            I really can't believe this option isn't available.

            A reverse sort order on created date would be very useful, epscially combined with limiting children displayed by default.

            8 years to get what seems like a trivial feature added.

            It is hard to believe this is not the default behaviour for meeting notes and that Atlassian aren't also affected?

            Please make this happen for the meeting note functionality especially. The last notes I create want to be a the top of the page tree branch (not the bottom)

            I too would like to sort my pages in reverse order to the default. It is intuitive to me that the most recent date named page is found at the top. The death of a good experience comes not only through house on fire issues but also a thousand minor annoyances.

            Sorry Sean, I don't understand when you say "drag the UI to the left and completely remove the widget. " Can you explain with a visual picture? 

            Thank you.
