I’ve built a website in Bootstrap Studio with around 100 pages. To keep things tidy and easier to manage, I’ve placed the pages into folders instead of having one long, cluttered list.
For example, I’ve created folders like categories, pages, and blog, and placed relevant pages into each. Inside the blog folder, I’ve added subfolders such as p1, p2, and p3, each containing a single page. I follow the same structure for organising images.
However, Bootstrap Studio doesn’t sort these folders numerically. Instead of listing them from p1 to p100, it goes p1 to p10–p19, then p2 to p20-29 and so on.
This isn’t a major issue, but it does make finding specific folders more difficult—especially when there are a hundred or more.
I’d also like the option to add labels to folders, which would help identify their contents more easily.
Finally, Styles, JavaScript, Fonts, and Images all appear within the same menu. Personally, I’d prefer if Pages had its own separate menu—or ideally, the flexibility to move these items to a tab of your choice. I think this would create a much cleaner editing interface.
It’s actually pretty common for numerical order to follow that pattern, seen it several times.
It’s essentially seeing the name as p+1+0 not p+10 that’s why p+1+0 is followed by p+2 etc.. and p+1+0 is then followed by p+1+1 - p+1+9.
Doesn’t right clicking on the folder allow you to add a label or something.
Thank you for the screenshot and suggestions! These are definitely unique problems that I haven’t seen mentioned. However I feel that most of the issues you are facing are due to the file organization you’ve chosen.
The app sorts files and folders alphabetically. If you have a varying number of digits (p2 and p10) things won’t sort in the way you expect. The solution is to to zero pad the numbers so you have the same lengths: p002, p033, all the way until p999.
Having a folder for each page isn’t much of an improvement though since the list will be just as long as before. If the pages are blog posts, a better approach would be to use the year and month as folders:
Thanks for the advice, Martin. Unfortunately, folders also become part of the URL structure—unless there’s a setting I’ve missed that disables that.
I label them p1, p2, and so on to indicate the post number, which helps me stay organised while also keeping the URL structure simple.
Naming a folder after the subject matter, followed by the page name, would create an unnecessarily long and unattractive URL. That’s why having the ability to add labels—just like you can with components—would help identify the subject of the page without impacting the structure.
