Description

This PR fixes #8053

Adds a "Sort by" dropdown to the Cloud Native Resources page (/resources) with three options:

  • Latest (default) — sorts resources by newest date first
  • Oldest — sorts resources by oldest date first
  • Relevance — when a search query is active, preserves the existing relevance-ranked order from the search index; otherwise behaves like Latest

The dropdown is placed next to the existing search bar, following the visual/interaction pattern used by the existing Meshery Designs sort dropdown for consistency across sibling properties.

Notes for Reviewers

Still verifying the sort behavior against the deploy preview — will update this PR and mark it ready for review once confirmed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Resources page now provides a sort dropdown with Latest, Oldest, and Relevance options. Date sorting occurs before pagination, while the existing empty state and layout behavior remain unchanged.

Changes

Resources sorting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sorting behavior and control
src/sections/Resources/Resources-grid/index.js
The grid adds sortOption state and sorts resources by parsed dates in ascending or descending order. Missing dates use epoch zero. The Relevance option preserves the current order. A dropdown exposes all three options, and pagination uses the resulting data.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6d6d6

The new sorting control does not correctly implement Latest or Oldest, and it has pagination and mobile-layout regressions. These user-visible issues should be corrected before merge.

Explanation

The change adds the three sort options and applies the selected order to props.data, so the filtered subset remains the sort input. However, sortResources reads node.frontmatter.date, while DataWrapper does not request date in its GraphQL selection. All nodes therefore use new Date(0), and Latest and Oldest do not sort resources by date. The select also has no visible Sort by label, and the mobile media rule keeps .searchBox at 100% width while the sort control remains in the same non-wrapping flex row. These facts leave the date-sorting, visible-label, and responsive requirements in #8053 unmet.

Resolution

Request a revision that includes frontmatter.date in the resources GraphQL query, adds a visible Sort by label or equivalent accessible label, and defines a mobile layout that places the sort control and search control within the viewport. Add focused automated coverage for Latest, Oldest, Relevance, and sorting with filters.

Reset pagination when the sort changes. When currentPage is greater than 1, the sort handler updates sortOption but leaves props.currentPage unchanged. The grid then slices the newly sorted data with the old page index instead of showing the first page.

Select frontmatter.date before sorting resources.

DataWrapper.js does not select date in the allMdx query. useDataList and ResourcesList preserve the queried nodes without adding it. ResourceGrid therefore uses new Date(0) for every node, so Latest and Oldest preserve the incoming order.

Add date to the frontmatter fields in the allMdx query.

Add responsive layout rules for .sortBox. Below 990px, .search remains a non-wrapping flex container while .searchBox consumes 100% of the row. The unstyled .sortBox remains adjacent and can overflow the container instead of displaying responsively with the search control. Add wrapping and mobile sizing rules for .sortBox and .sortDropdown.
