About

Use FirstChildRedirect to redirect users to the first document in a folder (based on menuindex sort order, however configurable) when they access a folder document within MODX.If no children are found for the specified document, FirstChildRedirect will redirect users to the site start page, though this behavior can easily be modified by passing &default to the snippet with either a page ID, or one of the following: site_start,site_unavailable_page,error_page,unauthorized_page.

You can also use the &sortBy (any resource field) or &sortDir (asc or desc) parameters to specify what to sort on. Please note that it always takes the first resource.
