Get default sort property for TKB articles

Hi,

 

Admin section allows community managers to set default sorting for articles on a TKB page.

 

Is there possibility to extract this option using API call or context objects?

 

So far I tried to look through documentation and available options in admin_settings.xml, but unfortunately nothing came up.

 

Later has section.article_sort_order parameter available, but it always returns mostRecent as its value, even if, for example, default sorting is set to manual.

 

Thank you very much for your advice!

    Unfortunately, It would not be possible to get it through the API.  But you can get it using Jquery. 

     

    $('.lia-js-menu-opener.default-menu-option.lia-js-mouseover-menu.lia-link-navigation').text();

    It will return whatever selected option like
    "Top LabelsComments" , "Top LabelsKudos" etc. 

     

    Note: Verify the selector class for your instance.
