[Feature Request] Automatic sorting of Subpages

[Chron-O-John]

Right now it is only possible to change the position of sub-pages by hand. An function in the right-click-menu to automatically sort it would be really helpful. Here's a mock-up to illustrate what I mean:

Can be quite useful, at least for our use-case

Sorting is absolutely necessary

Interesting request 👍
Just to better understand the request. What kind of sorting would you expect here?

1. Sorting type

a) Fixed sorting (e.g. simple alphabetical order, maybe Asc/Desc)
b) Pattern-based sorting (e.g. prefixes like 01_, 02_, or similar conventions)

These feel like two different modes, and both can be combined with the following points:

2. Scope / persistence

a) User-local / temporary (only affects my view, resets on reload)
b) Global / persistent (stored on the node and applied for all users)

3. Depth

a) Only direct subpages
b) Recursive sorting of the whole subtree

Hey

The goal is to make wiki navigation faster and more predictable by automatically sorting subpages alphabetically - so page trees are easy to scan and don't drift into "random order" over time.

Fixed alphabetical sorting

Global / persistentent
-> Everyone sees the same order. The wiki remains a single source of truth.

Recursive sorting
-> All or nothing

Why this matters:
Alphabetical lists are dramatically easier to visually scan than arbitrarily ordered ones. Manual ordering usually isn't needed because "grouping" should be represented via subtrees and not by forcing a custom order inside a flat list. This keeps the wiki tidy.
