Hi there,

I’ve created a script that imports data from a CSV page (an export of Woocommerce orders) and creates new pages (merx orders) programatically from them.

The script worked well for a while but there are now 2,673 orders and every time I am importing a new page I am getting this memory error: `"Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes)"`

I traced the error to the function `resortSiblingsAfterListing` in `/kirby/src/Cms/PageActions.php` specifically to this line (772-775):

```php
$listed = $siblings
            ->listed()
            ->append($this)
            ->filter(fn ($page) => $page->blueprint()->num() === 'default');

```

This is run after I create the new page as draft and change the status to “listed”.

Just for reference, this is how I call the page creation function:

```php
$imported_order = Kirby\Cms\Page::create( [
  "template" => "order",
  "model" => "order",
  "draft" => true,
  "parent" => page( "orders" ),
  "slug" => Kirby\Toolkit\Str::slug( $order_data["wc_order_key"] ),
  "content" => $order_data,
] )->changeStatus( "listed" );

```

I am running this code on a Kirby v5 installation on a local MAMP server running PHP . Does this mean there are too many pages in the directory to complete the code?

I am also enclosing my (local) system info in case this helps (upgraded to Kirby v5.1.2 after seeing I wasn’t up to date but the error persists):
