Jekyll: How to change the default ordering of collections

Question

I have a collection in my jekyll site that has files named as numbers. 1, 2, 3, ... 10, 11, 12, and so on. I'm building these pages to connect with each other, so 1 would connect to 2, ...

When I build, jekyll serves it in the order of 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, ...

How can I have it build in proper numerical order?

Answer 1

After a little more searching, I found this answered question: How to change the default order pages in jekyll

Basically, what I came up with was:

{% assign ordered_pages = site.pages | sort:"title" %}
{% for page in ordered_pages %}

<a href="{{ page.url | relative_url }}">{{ page.title }}</a>

{% endfor %}

Which is nearly identical to the original answer.
