In this panel, you can configure what posts are included in the list when browsing the Collection and customize how they are presented.

Order by

The Order by option allows you to order your posts as follows:

• by the date your post was issued or published (this is the default setting)
• by a specific order that you can explicitly define
• by the post’s title (alphabetical order)
• by the post’s creation date, published or not
• by the post’s most recent modification date (which means the content of the post has changed)
• by the post’s last touch date (which may be a content change but also a status change or even the fact that a comment has been added)
• by the post’s URL filename (also called ) (alphabetical order)
• by the post’s priority setting
• by random order

You can also change the general Direction of your posts’ list, either ascending or descending (default setting).

Display

This settings allows you to set the number of days or posts that you want to be displayed on your collection’s posts page (disp = posts (List of Posts / Items)). This is set to 5 posts by default.

Featured post above list

This allows you to choose whether or not there should be a featured post displayed at the top of your posts list (disp = posts (List of Posts / Items)). This is turned off by default because featured posts will typically be shown on the front page instead (disp = front).
