Pin blog article to top?

[m-e]

Is there a way to ‘pin’ a blog article so that it displays first in the frontend - so that it is not listed by date?

I could update the date field, so that the article is always the most recent, but I was just wondering if there is any way to ‘pin’ an article.

you could create a custom toggle field for each blog article to toggle “pinned”, and use that to sort in frontend?

You can sort via multiple fields: Sorting collections | Kirby CMS

Interesting… so I can sortBy ‘date’ and ‘pinned’ (and put pinned at the top). Like this?

$articles = page('blog')->children()->listed()->sortBy('pinned', 'date', 'desc');

Unfortunately my blog articles are sorted by Chronological sorting by date field

The date is being “added” to the Content folder name 20250113_article

And in my template I have this
<?php foreach($page->children()->listed()->flip() as $article): ?>

I’m not sure there is a way of removing a “pinned” article out of the above sorting, and display it at the top of the Blog article list? If not I might pivot to using sortBy

This is leading to the same question I had here

In the Contents > Blog folder they are numbered like this: 1_your-first-article 2_your-first-article 3_your-first-article 4_your-first-article And in the Panel the position of the articles can be reordered, by simply dragging the pages up or down. Is this standard practise to be able to reorder blog articles, or should they be arrang…
