How do I change the order of my left navigation?

The left navigation is built from the folder/file structure is Cascade and is ordered as assets are built. There are 2 ways to arrange your navigation to your preference.

1. Build assets in the reverse order you want them listed in your navigation

Each time you save a new asset, it will be listed alphabetically in your folder structure, but it will display in your navigation as the most recent on top of the previous one. If you have established your site architecture prior to building your site in Cascade (which is recommended), simply build you assets in reverse order. Once you've built all of your assets, the first one you built will fall at the bottom of the order, and the last one you built will be first.

Exception: This does not apply to folders/files that are not to be indexed in the navigation. Since they will not show up anyway, it doesn't matter where they fall in the folder/file structure.

2. Rearrange the assets you have already built

If you have already built folders and files and now need to put them in a different order, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the folder containing the assets you need to re-order.
  2. Notice the asset's "Order" and choose to move the file(s) up move asset up one space or down move asset down one space using the "Actions."

Tip: This can be a slow process. To speed it up, determine the order you prefer then move all files to the top move asset to top in reverse order. This will resemble "stacking" the files so that the last one placed will be at the top of the list.

Remember: Reordering your assets will not change how they are displayed in the asset tree. Assets will continue to be listed in alphabetical order.
