# Set overwriteDemand in links {#overwritedemand-in-frontend}

Sometimes it can be nice to define links with overwriteDemand properties in the
frontend. Use cases are:

-   Change the sorting in the frontend
-   Define some category filter
-   ...

The following example defines the ordering

```html
<f:link.page additionalParams="{tx_news_pi1:{overwriteDemand:{order: 'datetime desc'}}}">
   Order datetime descending
</f:link.page>
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The checkbox **Disable override demand** in the list plugin (Tab Additional)
> must **not** be set to allow overriding the properties.
