+### Sorting

+Is there a way to have the generated maps sorted by *title* instead of *filename* when show=title is used?

 Question: Is there a way to generate a listing that shows *both* title and description meta information? Currently, a \[\[!map ...]] shows only one of the two, but I'd like to generate a navigation that looks like a description list. For example:
 
  * This is the title meta information.

+I feel like this should be obvious, but I can't figure out how to sort numerically. 
+
+I have `map pages="./* and !*/Discussion and !*/sidebar"`  and a bunch of pages with names like 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 1/1.1, 12/12.3 etc. I want to sort them numerically. I see lots of conversation implying there's a simple way to do it, but not how.
