Sort Articles Tags by Name rather than Count

I've been struggling to find a way to accomplish sorting the tags in Articles by name. I know TagLister can have sortBy `tag` rather than `count`, but I can't seem to find where articles actually makes the TagLister call. I also just tried brute forcing a solution by editing TagLister's code to default to `tag` rather than count, but that didn't work either.

It seems to me that sorting tags by name or count should be an option on the Advanced Tab. Maybe it's on the road map.

Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this?

Thanks.

Anyone know how to do this?

It's probably too late , but I've got the same problem now . Instead of changing php code (which can stops working if You upgrade articles) You can use a little hack to do that. In articles advanced settings on Tagging tab add this sufix to Tag listing chunk name:


Whole line should looks like this, assuming tpl name is tagCloudTpl:


It's some kind of code injection hack that injects sortBy parameter to the php code in articlescontainer.class.php. Beware of using backtick sign (`)only two times and space after first backtick. In other case it won't work. [ed. note: pelzak last edited this post 8 years, 6 months ago.]

With Article, you can change this property in the snippet property ;-)
Go to the snippet tagLister -> Property Tab -> unlock properties -> find sortBy line and you can change to Tag or keep to count.

How could I missed that . Thanks.

I can't see how to mark the post as "answered"? Maybe because it was created as a discussion rather than a question?
