It's looking for an instance variable since $this->owner is an object instance. Static methods can't be called dynamically in the same way so it had to be instanced. Glad it worked out for you!

But changing the $customSort from a static variable to a public variable works. I don't really understand why, but at least it works.

Could you perhaps send me your code or something?

It's exactly what I was looking for. I've been having some trouble with it though. No matter what I set $customSort as, I get an error saying "Undefined offset: 0" from the last line in the SiteTreeSorter class. I'm probably missing something really obvious but I just can't see it. Anyone have any ideas?

I haven't tried the solution in 2.4.5 (I think) but it should work. I'll try to get back to you here later today with a working example. RSSName http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2011/custom-sorting-in-the-cms-sitetree/#PageComment_463 http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2011/custom-sorting-in-the-cms-sitetree/#PageComment_462 I just cannot get this working. I'm using 2.4.5 and have done the following: - Created SiteTreeSorter.php in mysite/code with the above class - Added Object::add_extension('Page', 'SiteTreeSorter'); to _config.php - In my NewsHolder.php I've added "static $customSort = array('Title','ASC');" in the model. But it's not having any effect, the children of the NewsHolder do not change to alphabetical order. Any ideas? Anyone able to provide a working example?
