How to concatenate / append a string to another one in Jekyll / Liquid

jekyllliquid

To be clear, assuming:

{% assign my_var = "123" %}
{% assign another_var = "456" %}

I would like to append string to my_var to get something like 123 - 456

What I have tried so far:

{% assign my_var = my_var + " - " + another_var %}

You could use the capture logic tag:

{% capture new_var %}{{ my_var }} - {{ another_var }}{% endcapture %}

It is also possible to use the append filter, as Ciro pointed:

{% assign new_var = my_var | append: ' - ' | append: another_var %}

Since Jekyll 2.2.0 you can sort an array of objects by any object property. You can now do :

{% assign pages = site.pages | sort:"weight"  %}
<ul>
  {% for p in pages %}
    <li>
      <a {% if p.url == page.url %}class="active"{% endif %} href="{{ p.url }}">
        {{ p.title }}
      </a>
    </li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

And save a lot of build time compared to @kikito solution.

edit: You MUST assign your sorting property as an integer weight: 10 and not as a string weight: "10".

Assigning sorting properties as string will ends up in a a string sort like "1, 10, 11, 2, 20, ..."
