NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
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).

[CONFSERVER-31358] Expand page order alphabetical sort to allow reverse sort
The reason Atlassian products get such little traction in the businesses I support is simply that they add so much 'fluff' features that get pushed out to everyone that just makes for convoluted UI and all the basics of usability just go ignored.
The basic request for having page sort order options that are useful seems to be typical of Atlassian, it's 100% design by committee.. I never asked for white boards and all the other 'fluff' yet it's rammed down my throat because rather than have options for all the features which I can selectively turn on, they are hardcoded for me to just make the UI messier and any efficient workflow needlessly hampered.
Come on, adding Z-A and 'Changed Date ASC' and 'Changed Date DESC' would be childs play considering it's basic SQL..
The tools are fast becoming so half baked that they are of no use to anyone, it's just fluff/tat and half implemented functionality added that are hardcoded to pollute your UI.. Do better!
This feature has been requested in 2013, has 250+ votes and still not even assigned, let alone implemented in 2024. Seriously @atlassian?
I would really benefit from this issue being addressed, for meeting notes especially
Happy Birthday CONFSERVER-31358 (10 years old yesterday)!
Please implement a fix (the best solution imho, this shouldn't be so hard) or simply put this ticket in the state "Won't Do".
Dear @Atlassian,
I am slightly worried that this issue is unassigned. I am afraid it is being overlooked, as it seems a low hanging fruit function to me. Is there anybody listening or watching at all?
(As a side note, at our corp we require all issues to be always assigned to someone. By default to the product owner or project lead.)
This is a stupid simple thing and very needed for notes and date value sorting.
