-  sort newest created pages first. Setting it to "title" will sort pages by
-  title, and "mtime" sorts most recently modified pages first. If

-  to sort by title with numbers treated as such ("1 2 9 10 20" instead of
-  "1 10 2 20 9").
+* `sort` - Controls how inlined pages are [[sorted|pagespec/sorting]].

 * `reverse` - If set to "yes", causes the sort order to be reversed.
 * `feedshow` - Specify the maximum number of matching pages to include in
   the rss/atom feeds. The default is the same as the `show` value above.
