It did not reorder all the nodes as I desired, and as my solution in this thread does. Can't remember why.

Since MPTT doesn't care about sibling order, getting the wrong result from generatetreelist just means your data is in the wrong order in the db.

Want generatetreelist() results in alphabetical order
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1348/generatetreelist generatetreelist() returns a pseudo-tree in a relative order, with children under parents. I would like results wherein the peers are also ordered, alphabetically by label. Here is a quick example if this isn't clear: array( [1] = My Categories, [2] = _Fun, [3] = __Sport, [4] = ___Surfing, [16] = ___Skating, ) This array is not fully ordered (to my liking anyway). Surfing is above Skating, when it should be below. When an array contains dozens of elements like this, it is difficult to find what you are looking for (without alphabetical ordering). The only past online discussions I can find on this issue, end with If you want this solved, then write the function yourself. So my question is... has anyone wrote the solution yet?

Re: Want generatetreelist() results in alphabetical order
OK, I decided to bake up a solution myself. I don't contend that it
is the fastest or the best, but it is simple and it seems to work.
Drop these two functions into your model and call the first.
//
// Convert the results of a $this-find('threaded') call into a list,
wherein all items
// are ordered as a tree. Unlike generatetreelist() (as of Cake
1.3), peers in this
// list are also ordered (however they were by the preceding
find() ).
// This is meant to be used in models with Tree behavior.
//
// Inputs:
// $find_results - output from $this-find('threaded')
// $table - the name of the model containing keys and values
// $key - the name of the value in the model to become the key in
the output array (e.g. 'id')
// $value - the name of value in the model to become the value in
the output array (e.g. 'name')
//
// Output: a flat, one-dimensional array similar to that from
generatetreelist()
//
function _threadedFindToTreeList($find_results, $table, $key, $value,
$spacer = '--')
{
$our_results = array();
$this-_threadedFindToTreeListR($find_results, $table, $key,
$value,
$spacer, 0, $our_results);
return $our_results;
}
//
//
function _threadedFindToTreeListR($find_results, $table, $key,
$value, $spacer, $recursion_lvl, $our_results)
{
foreach($find_results as $item)
{
if ( isset($item[$table]) )
{
// Add one entry to the bottom of our
accumulated results.
$spaced_val = '';
for ($i = 0; $i $recursion_lvl; $i++)
$spaced_val .= $spacer;
$spaced_val .= $item[$table][$value];
$our_results[ $item[$table][$key] ] =
$spaced_val;
if ( isset($item['children']) )
$this-_threadedFindToTreeListR($item['children'], $table, $key,
$value, $spacer, $recursion_lvl+1, $our_results);
}
}
}
