I am feeling slightly guilty to mention “CMS”, knowing that it’s beta etc. and my stuff not being really super urgent or earth shaking.

But I guess you released it also to catch early bugs…so here another weird behaviour and perhaps some help to put a link to open a pdf.

1. Strange behaviour - The “Load More” button is working in local preview, but not on local server (ServBay, MAMP)

2. (Trying to get a newsletter pdf link to open the pdf. I know (at least I think I do), that markdown doesn’t support this. So I tried html within the \*.md file, result is “requested page not found”. Maybe my syntax is wrong or it’s not as simple as I thought - ideally I would like just a button displayed, which would open the pdf in a new window.) - Forget this one..I figured it out !

3. Question to ‘display order’ of the author team in the About page. Is it possible to adjust the ‘pecking order’ of displayed authors (to avoid hurting egos)??

Hi Utz, regarding #2, could you tell me how you did it?

It was an error in referencing the resource directory..

This is a bug! Good news though — we have a fix for this which will be available later today 😃

You can adjust the sorting order via the Filters controls on a Collection component.

Easiest way to order the authors would be to add a date to the author’s markdown file’s frontmatter. Something like:

```auto
---
name: Ben
date: 20205-01-01
---

```

Hope that helps 🙂

How do I add authors to a collection component? Sorry but it is not obvious to me. I have added a appropriate dates to the .md files. BTW is the date UK format or US format?

Sorry to bother you again, you have been super helpful but I am really struggling to get this to work, no matter where I put the collection in my page layout list it is not working. Could you send me a screen shot of your page layout for the page in the screenshot above. Thank you.
