Programmatically enable sorting for Navigation SharePoint

In this blog we will be seeing how to enable sorting for navigation using object model in SharePoint 2010

I have a site collection with the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature enabled on the site collection and sites with the SharePoint Server Publishing site feature activated.

Go to Site Actions => Site Settings => Look and Feel => Navigation => Sorting.



Programmatically Enable/Disable Sorting for navigation



using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://servername:1111/sites/sample"))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.RootWeb)
{
PublishingWeb publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
// Sorting
// Do sorting
publishingWeb.Update();
}
}
