Managing Sub-page Sort Order

There are two options for the sort-order in which sub-pages are listed; alphabetic (a-z) and custom.

A-Z
Let's say you wanted all of the sub-pages of page B to appear in alphabetical order. Find page B in the Site Explorer and click on it to make it the active page. Click on the Context tab in the Work Panel. You will see a list of page B's sub-pages. Click the icon at the top of the list. The sub-pages will be sorted into alphabetical order. Click the "Save" button in the Page Tools to save your changes.

Custom
Setting a custom sort-order for sub-pages is very similar to linking pages. Let's say that you have Page B with sub-pages A, D, and E (currently in that order) and you wanted the order to be D, A, E.

· Find page B in the Site Explorer and click on it.

· Click on the Context tab in the Work Panel. You will see a list of page B's sub-pages in the order that they currently appear (A, D, E).

· Drag-and-drop page A onto page D and hold the mouse pointer there without releasing the mouse button. As you hold the mouse pointer over page D's icon, you will notice a small blue horizontal line appear above or below page D's icon. If you hold the mouse pointer over the upper half of the icon it will appear above the icon. If you hold it over the lower half of the icon the line will appear below the icon. The line indicates where in the list you are going to drop the item you are currently dragging.

· Hold the mouse pointer so that the blue line sort indicator appears below the Page D icon and release the mouse button.

· You will see the page A jump down below page D.

· Click the "Save" button in the Page Tools to save your changes.
