It would be nice if this could sort alphabetically.

I believe the Views module already implements alphabetical sorting.

It's not as convenient as if nodeorder allowed it, it's true, but I think nodeorder's focus is on arbitrary ordering (what with it's drag and drop interface).

This is part of Views.

Was hoping for a temp fix for faceted search since it doesn't have views support yet. Guess its not easy to sort alphabetically so I'll have to wait for the views submodule in faceted search.

I know views has the capability to sort nodes alphabetically. However, I want to be able to have the option to sort alphabetically (like a 'Reset to Alphabetical' button) and also do manual sorting.

The problem with a "Reset to alphabetical" is that currently the default is by nid (I believe), so it wouldn't actually be a reset. The same problem will arise with where to place new nodes, etc (at the bottom or in alphabetical?).

It could be interesting to implement this as an option and then to add a "reset (nid/alphabetical)" button. But this won't be very high on my priority list as I'm just trying to clean up the code base and address some of the major bugs.

I'd accept patches though.
