Ordering content in a list layout

[gtitov]

What happened?

Hey! The theme is awesome. I faced some minor issues ordering content in a list layout. I'm not sure if they can be considered bugs but I wanted to share.

Order by date before weight

While default Hugo behavior is to order content by weight > date > title > filename Congo seems to order content by date > weight > ... So if date exists in a frontmatter weight is ignored.

Order by weight goes bottom-to-top

When there is no dates in posts Hugo orders content by weight. But content with lower weight comes lower in the list while Hugo docs says "Lower weight gets higher precedence.". So I expected a page with the lowest weight to appear first but it appears last in a list with the Congo theme.

Theme version

v2.3.0

Hugo version

v0.101.0

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Relevant Hugo log output

No response

Thanks for the detailed report. I'll take a look at these and see if there's any adjustments to be made that can improve the output. In general, I try to stick to the default Hugo behaviours as much as possible.

A bit of a research showed that this line is responsible for the issue if it helps somehow

congo/layouts/_default/list.html

Line 29 in a74a401

{{ range (.Paginate (.Pages.GroupByDate "2006")).PageGroups }}
