I am no javascript specialist. hope the code change is fine. i am aware that maybe the syntax can be made easier, but I don't know how this can be done. I have tested everything on my local environment and it looks fine and do what it needs.

@zachleat Can you please merge?

@zachleat, can you please merge? I heavily depend on this PR and the upcoming release :)

@zachleat Please merge this ASAP as I need this in my project. Thanks

It'd be great to see this merged!

Here's a filter to sort by name if anyone needs it. It ignores order, if you need that look at @mstenz code in the MR.

  eleventyConfig.addFilter("sortByName", function (arr) {
        return arr.slice().sort((a, b) => a.title.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.title.toLowerCase()));
  });

usage: {{ collections.all | eleventyNavigation | sortByName }}
note: the slice() here is to avoid mutating the output of eleventyNavigation as I don't know if it could have undesirable side effects. It ensures the sorting only affects the rendered list.

@mrtnmgs That was a really useful snippet given that there is no response to this PR for a couple of years so thank you! May I ask, how did you work on it? Just dump the output of eleventyNavigation, or did you dive into the source code?

@zachleat @binyamin Please!

I don't have write access to this repository. Sorry.

Went with a simpler approach here that only required modification of the sort method in one spot. The fix for #1 will ship with Navigation 1.0.0

Correction: the correct fix for this has shipped with Navigation v1.0.1
