This allows users to sort by the value of a specified frontmatter key, including anything that would otherwise be available in
.Params
. Comparisons (and thus the resulting sorting) are done on a string basis, so, for example,xyz123
comes before and not afterxyz23
.This is useful for general-purpose sorting for which
weight
is either not sufficient or where it duplicates information that's already present in the frontmatter. See discussions here.If the committers are happy with this implementation, I'll also add the correspondingly necessary documentation for this feature.
