Post by keesbuth » Wed Mar 27, 2024 12:51 pm

Hello,

Any suggestings?

Well, I guess I would look for a different module:
https://extensions.joomla.org/tags/rela ... arameters.
Or start trying to achive this with a template override of mod_related_items.
But because I'm no developer my knowledge ends here.

Godd luck!

change the order of articles in the Administrator side. Articles manager, you can drag-and-drop the ordering of articles. (?). If your articles are arranged, for example in categories, then you can sort them within each category.

But it sounds like you have dozens/hundreds of articles related to each other. That may require more thought into how you display it on the front end.
