Rearrange Menu

Hello. I’ve been searching for a solution to this problem but I did not find any info on the topic.

Problem:
I need to be able to change the order in which the documents are shown in a folder.

Example:
I have a folder named News with the following structure:
News:
-- News 1
-- News 2
-- News 3
-- News 4

I need to be able to rearrange this and have
News:
-- News 2
-- News 4
-- News 1
-- News 3

How can I do this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

There is a "menu index" field, adjust the menu index accordingly, you will find this field while editing the document.

Hope this helps.

regards.

Thank you for your reply but it does not work. Anybody has any ideas?

Thank you!

I’m assuming you want to do this in the front end (teh website) and not in the manager, yes? Basically what zi is saying is the way to do it but you may have to set some parameters differently in the menu snippet. What (snippet) do you use to build the menu?

Are you talking about the manager or the front end? If the front end, what are you using to build the list? If the Manager, you need to change the sorting option using the icons above the tree menu.

Thank you for the quick replies. Very much appreciated!

I use DropMenu
and I use this to show the menu:


The main priority is to be able to change the order of the menu items in the front end. But it would be much better to be able to see the changes in the manager as well.

Thanks again.

You can do both. For the manager, use the sort icon above the tree.

For the front end, I’d highly recommend switching over to Wayfinder, as DropMenu has been deprecated and will likely not receive any more attention from the core team, although it certainly works for many people!

Hmm, DropMenu by default should sort the menu by the menuindex field but you can try adding &orderBy=`menuindex` to your snippet call and see if this makes a difference.

Well, and there’s offcourse Ryans suggestion, who just beat me to it

Thanks a LOT for your suggestions. I will look into it!
