The `Sort` method returns the given menu with its entries sorted by `name`.
Consider this menu definition:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
[[menus.main]]
name = 'Services'
pageRef = '/services'
weight = 10
[[menus.main]]
name = 'About'
pageRef = '/about'
weight = 20
[[menus.main]]
name = 'Contact'
pageRef = '/contact'
weight = 30
{{< /code-toggle >}}
To sort the entries by `name`:
```go-html-template
<ul>
{{ range .Site.Menus.main.ByName }}
<li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
```
Hugo renders this to:
```html
<ul>
<li><a href="/about/">About</a></li>
<li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="/services/">Services</a></li>
</ul>
```
You can also sort menu entries using the [`sort`] function. For example, to sort by `name` in descending order:
```go-html-template
<ul>
{{ range sort .Site.Menus.main "Name" "desc" }}
<li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
```
When using the sort function with menu entries, specify any of the following keys: `Identifier`, `Name`, `Parent`, `Post`, `Pre`, `Title`, `URL`, or `Weight`.
