Sort order in custom content provider
Do you mean the sort order in the gadget for the assets pane? Do you have your own gadget, or using the standard media gadget?

Hi,
I think that to allow sorting children in your custom content provider you need to add two Capabilities on ContentProvider. Those capabilities are Edit and Move.
public class MyProvider : ContentProvider
{
public override ContentProviderCapabilities ProviderCapabilities
{
get { return ContentProviderCapabilities.Edit | ContentProviderCapabilities.Move; }
}
}

Per, no I mean sorting the actual assets themselves.
Grzegorz, that's an interesting idea. I may play with it, but I still have no idea how that would open up any interfaces/properties/methods I can use to control sorting...

Yes, you are right. I thought that you were ask about how to enable sorting in Custom Provider. The code that I sent you should enable sorting in edit mode (in tree).

Yo folks. So I'm wondering how on earth to set the sort order for documents being returned from a custom content provider. I can't see any way to set a sort index option or sort order on content folders or media data. Any ideas?
Note that I have tried returning items from LoadChildrenReferencesAndTypes in specific orders, but that just gets overridden and the results are shown in the UI alphabetical ascending. This is what I need to somehow change.
Any advice appreciated!
