The behavior of the `Prev` and `Next` methods on a `Pages` objects is probably the reverse of what you expect.
With this content structure and the page collection sorted by weight in ascending order:
```text
content/
├── pages/
│ ├── _index.md
│ ├── page-1.md <-- front matter: weight = 10
│ ├── page-2.md <-- front matter: weight = 20
│ └── page-3.md <-- front matter: weight = 30
└── _index.md
```
When you visit page-2:
- The `Prev` method points to page-3
- The `Next` method points to page-1
{{% note %}}
Use the opposite label in your navigation links as shown in the example below.
{{% /note %}}
```go-html-template
{{ $pages := where .Site.RegularPages.ByWeight "Section" "pages" }}
{{ with $pages.Next . }}
<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Previous</a>
{{ end }}
{{ with $pages.Prev . }}
<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">Next</a>
{{ end }}
```
