One question

[GordonSmith]

I was thinking something more like:

files.sort((a, b)=>{
  const retVal = a.__hpcc_parentName.localeCompare(b.__hpcc_parentName);
  if (retVal ===0) {
    return a.Name.localeCompare(b.Name);
  }
  return retVal;
});

Doesn't seem to work the same; children don't immediately follow their parents with this method

In the raw data, or on the page?

[jeclrsg]

It wasn't being sorted correctly in the data, so it wasn't either on the page
