There are a few different ways to set the order that categories appear on your HelpDocs.

Available Sort Orders

  • Alphabetical. A-Z ordering by category title
  • Created date. When the category was first created (most recent first)
  • Last updated. When the category was last updated (most recent first)
  • Custom. You manually choose the order

Setting a Sort Order

  1. Head to Settings > Sorting (or click here)
  2. Under Category sort order choose the order you'd like
  3. Hit Save changes
Most of these ordering options are applied right away. If you chose Custom ordering you'll now see a drag handle when you hover over categories in the Content tab

Managing Custom Category Ordering

If you selected Custom ordering for your categories you'll get the ability to drag and drop your categories from the Content tab. Just click, hold, and drop wherever you want. Subcategories can be dragged within their parent category.

You'll need permission to publish, and your browser window needs to be at least 800px wide. Collapse an open category before you drag it. If a handle is grayed out, hover over it to see why.
