I have just been looking into this and have come to the conclusion it is not possible to order the results in the <code>generatetreelist()</code> method - at least no easy way without looping through and manually moving each node. The best way to go about this is use the normal find method with the first argument as 'threaded', then you can apply SQL ordering like you would any query. I have this method in my Category model: <pre><code>public function getThreaded($conditions = array()) { return $this->find('threaded', array( 'order' => 'Category.name ASC', 'contain' => false )); } </code></pre> This returns me an array of all my parent categories alphabetically-ordered, with a 'children' key containing another array all the children of that category, in alphabetical order too! I use <code>contain => false</code> to cut down on the data returned (threaded returns data about each node's parent, which we don't need to know), you could alter it to include extra data if need be. I understand this isn't 100% the same as <code>generatetreelist()</code>, but it's certainly tidier and a lot more flexible as you control the output. If you really needed to emulate <code>generatetreelist()</code>'s behavior, you could just loop through the array from above like so: <pre><code>$treeArray = array(); foreach($category as $parent) { $treeArray[] = $parent['Category']['name']; if(!empty($parent['children']) { foreach($parent['children'] as $childCategory) { $treeArray[] = ' - '.$childCategory['Category']['name']; } } } </code></pre> Hope this helps.

1. COOh I didn't think about that this time... It's a great workaround and like you said it sounds more flexible in the end. Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
