Reordering Items
Up one level
Consider the following folder, called "Skippers," for holding information about this type of butterfly. Often, when we add content items, we don't initially get them in the order we want. The desired ordering is not always alphabetical, but in this example we can assume so. Below you see the Skipper butterfly subfolders are not in alphabetical order:
One way to move the top item, "Spread-winged Skippers," to the bottom of the list would be to click the small down arrow icon on the right, and keep working it down to the bottom. This is useful for small changes, but for such a multi-row move, it is better to click the top row and drag it to the bottom and drop it there (a so-called "drag and drop" action). Take care to click in an area of the row to be moved where the cursor is not over any text (click in the open space between the words), and simply drag and drop (hold the mouse button down as you move the item), as the following little animation illustrates:
The item that is being moved turns yellow as it is being moved. When the mouse button is released, the item stays where it was dragged. Click the view tab to see the reordered listing.
