{{< new-in 0.153.0 />}}

The rotate method on a page object returns a collection of pages that vary along the specified [dimension](g), while holding the other dimensions constant. The result includes the current page and is sorted according to the rules of the specified dimension. For example, rotating along [language](g) returns all language variants that share the current page's [version](g) and [role](g).

The `DIMENSION` argument must be one of `language`, `version`, or `role`.

## Sort order

Use the following rules to understand how Hugo sorts the collection returned by the `Rotate` method.

| Dimension | Primary Sort | Secondary Sort |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Language | Weight ascending | Lexicographical ascending |
| Version | Weight ascending | Semantic version descending |
| Role | Weight ascending | Lexicographical ascending |

## Examples

To render a list of the current page's language variants, including the current page, while sharing its current version and role:

```go-html-template
{{/* Returns languages sorted by weight ascending, then lexicographically ascending */}}
{{ range .Rotate "language" }}
  <h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ end }}
```

To render a list of the current page's version variants, including the current page, while sharing its current language and role:

```go-html-template
{{/* Returns versions sorted by weight ascending, then semantic version descending */}}
{{ range .Rotate "version" }}
  <h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ end }}
```

To render a list of the current page's role variants, including the current page, while sharing its current language and version:

```go-html-template
{{/* Returns roles sorted by weight ascending, then lexicographically ascending */}}
{{ range .Rotate "role" }}
  <h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ end }}
```
