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, sorts by search relevance; when no search query is active, behaves identically to 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. It is hidden on screens 990px and below and includes an aria-label="Sort by" for accessibility.

What this fixes

  • The GraphQL query in DataWrapper.js was missing the date field from frontmatter, so no date-based sorting was previously possible — this is now included.
  • Pagination now resets to page 1 whenever the sort option changes.
  • Dropdown styling correctly follows the site's light/dark theme.
  • Added a custom dropdown arrow icon

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Resources page now provides Latest, Oldest, and Relevance sorting. Date sorting occurs before pagination. The GraphQL query supplies each resource’s date. Several unrelated components receive formatting-only changes.

Changes

Resources sorting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resource date data
src/sections/Resources/Resources-grid/DataWrapper.js
The GraphQL query now retrieves frontmatter.date for each resource. Existing filters and ordering remain unchanged.
Sorting behavior and control
src/sections/Resources/Resources-grid/index.js, src/sections/Resources/Resources-grid/resourceGrid.style.js
The grid stores the selected option, sorts by parsed date for Latest or Oldest, preserves the existing order for Relevance, and paginates the sorted data. The dropdown resets pagination to page 1 and has an accessible name.

Formatting updates

Component formatting
src/sections/Counters/index.js, src/sections/Meshery/Features-Col/index.js, src/sections/Meshery/How-meshery-works/specs/data-card.js, src/sections/Projects/Nighthawk/index.js
JSX, JavaScript, SVG, styled-component CSS, promise handlers, and string layouts are reformatted without changing behavior or values.

Explanation

For #8053, ResourceGrid adds latest, oldest, and relevance options. It sorts the filtered props.data by frontmatter.date and resets pagination when the option changes. DataWrapper supplies default date-descending data. The control has only aria-label="Sort by"; it has no visible Sort by label. resourceGrid.style.js hides .sortBox below 990px, so the control is unavailable on mobile. No focused automated tests verify the sorting, relevance behavior, filter combination, pagination reset, or responsive control.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The resource-grid and data-wrapper changes support #8053. The pull request also changes src/sections/Counters/index.js, src/sections/Meshery/Features-Col/index.js, src/sections/Meshery/How-meshery-works/specs/data-card.js, and src/sections/Projects/Nighthawk/index.js. The reviewed changes in these files are formatting-only and have no demonstrated connection to resource sorting.

Adds a Sort by dropdown to the Cloud Native Resources page with Latest, Oldest, and Relevance options. Fixes the missing date field in the GraphQL query, resets pagination when sort changes, and applies correct light/dark theme styling with a custom dropdown arrow. The dropdown is hidden on screens 990px and below per maintainer request, and includes an accessible aria-label.

@Katotodan @Maanvi212006 @Sbragul26 I have implemented the sort dropdown feature in our /resources page with Latest, Oldest, and Relevance options. Could you please review this whenever possible? Do let me know if any changes are required. Thank you!

The sort control is currently hidden at max-width: 990px, which makes the new sorting functionality unavailable on mobile/tablet widths. The linked issue explicitly requires the UI to be responsive on both mobile and desktop. Could you keep the sort control visible below 990px and stack/wrap it with the search box instead of hiding it?

Also, the relevance branch currently returns nodes unchanged when a search query is active. Could you confirm that the existing searchData flow already returns the filtered results in relevance order? If it only filters while preserving the default date order, then this option isn't actually implementing the issue's requested relevance sorting.

The sort/filter/pagination flow looks good. A couple of things I'd still check:

The date parsing with new Date(frontmatter.date) may be unreliable for values like 2026-06-22 10:30:05 -0530. Could we use the existing normalised date? ForSort or make the parsing/NaN handling safer?
Since search already returns ranked results, the new latest default now reorders search results by date. Could we keep Relevance as the default when a search query is active to preserve the existing behavior?
Also, the PR description could clarify that resources were already sorted by date DESC and this change mainly adds the sort control.

Hi @PARTH-TUSSLE On mobile visibility: hiding the sort control on small screens was an explicit instruction from @Katotodan earlier in this issue discussion on slack. Since your review is asking for the opposite (visible + wrapped/stacked on mobile, per the linked issue's requirement). @Katotodan could you confirm which direction you'd like — happy to implement either.
On relevance sorting: confirmed — the existing searchData flow (js-search with TF-IDF indexing) does return results genuinely ranked by term-relevance, not just filtered while preserving date order. I verified this directly by comparing Latest vs Relevance with an active search term, and the resulting order differed as expected. So this option is working as the issue requested.

@vedant21-ctr Thanks for raising this — I tested new Date() directly against the date formats present in this dataset (timestamp style like "2026-06-22 10:30:05 -0530", and the ordinal-suffix style after stripping, like "June 22, 2026"), and both parse correctly with no Invalid Date/NaN issues. I also searched for "forSort" specifically and didn't find it in the codebase. If you had a specific normalized field or file in mind, could you point me to it? Otherwise, based on what I tested, I don't think there's an active parsing bug here.
