docs/content/en/methods/menu/ByName.md
The Sort method returns the given menu with its entries sorted by name.
Consider this menu definition:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}} [[menus.main]] name = 'Services' pageRef = '/services' weight = 10
[[menus.main]] name = 'About' pageRef = '/about' weight = 20
[[menus.main]] name = 'Contact' pageRef = '/contact' weight = 30 {{< /code-toggle >}}
To sort the entries by name:
<ul>
{{ range .Site.Menus.main.ByName }}
<li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
Hugo renders this to:
<ul>
<li><a href="/about/">About</a></li>
<li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="/services/">Services</a></li>
</ul>
You can also sort menu entries using the sort function. For example, to sort by name in descending order:
<ul>
{{ range sort .Site.Menus.main "Name" "desc" }}
<li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
When using the sort function with menu entries, specify any of the following keys: Identifier, Name, Parent, Post, Pre, Title, URL, or Weight.
