Update:
It’s been brought to my attention that this is a support post, so I’ll do my best to fill out the template:
The Basics
- Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x): Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.4)
- Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04): Docker, AIO deployment (v10.1.1) on Debian 12
- Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.62
- Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2): nginx proxy manager, openresty/1.21.4.2
- PHP version (e.g, 8.3): 8.3.14
- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No): N/A (not an error)
- When did this problem seem to first start? No clue, maybe it’s always been like this?
- Installation method (e.g. AIO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.) AIO
- Are you using Cloudflare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No) No.
Summary of the issue you are facing:
View of shared folder (user NOT logged in) has no options to set a default sort method. I cannot find any references to URL parameters to pass, and nothing is obvious in the Network tab when I click around the web UI. It seems like the list comes from the server directly, ordered and such, in XML format. But that’s all I could infer so far.
So: is there a way to pass or set a sort method for users that are not logged in, for a public share link?
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Install NC AIO v10.1.1
- Login, drop some files in a folder, share folder.
- Load share link in an incognito or different browser.
- Try to get the sorting method to stick or set it via URL parameters
- Notice that the file sorting reverts to whatever the default is on reload
Log entries
Not applicable for all sections: Nextcloud, Web Browser, Web server / Reverse Proxy. This is not an error, there are no errors while viewing a shared link.
