Install

pnpm add @r1tsu/payload-plugin-collections-docs-order@1.0.0-beta.6 In your payload.config.ts:

/// ....
import { collectionsDocsOrderPlugin } from '@r1tsu/payload-plugin-collections-docs-order';

export default buildConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [
    collectionsDocsOrderPlugin({
      collections: [{ slug: 'pages' }], // The feature will be enabled only for collections that are in this array.,
      access: ({ req, data }) => {
        // Optional, configure access for `saveChanges` endpoint, default: Boolean(req.user)
        return req.user?.collection === 'admins';
      },
    }),
  ],
});

Querying with applied plugin's sort.

REST:

fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/examples?sort=docOrder').then((res) => res.json());

Local API:

payload.find({ collection: 'examples', sort: 'docOrder' });

GraphQL:

query {
  Examples(sort: "docOrder") {
    docs {
      title
    }
  }
