How to Reorder People
Caution: Reordering people using the instructions below will permanently alter how your site organizes people - your site will no longer automatically alphabetically organize people and with each new person added to your site, their order will need to be set using the instructions below.
Note: You are encouraged to consult with our team before using the instructions below to reorder people. Submit a service ticket that explains your directory needs, our team will advise different potential solutions.
- When logged into your site, navigate to a page containing a Person View you’d like to reorder.
- When you hover your mouse over a person element, a small pencil icon will appear on the right side.
- Click on the pencil and then click on Order View.
- Ensure Show Row Weights is visible on the top right above Main Content.
- If Hide Row Weights is showing, click that so that Show Row Weights is visible instead.
- Look for the small cross on the left of the person you wish to move.
- Click and as you hold, drag the person to its desired location.
- Save Order.
