Editing article order

Use the Article Manager to re-order Joomla articles, and edit the menu item associated with a particular page to make the page conform to a set order.

First, edit the menu item associated with the page. Under the Parameters tab for the menu item, you can specify Category and Primary order.

Then, in the Article Manager, you can reassign the order for individual articles that fall in the category or section associated with your page.

From the Joomla Help Site:

'Order. The order to display items. If the list is sorted by this column, you can change the order by clicking the arrows or by entering the sequential order and clicking 'Save Order'. Note that the display order on a page is set in the Parameters - Advanced section for each Menu Item. If that order is set to use something other than 'Order' (for example, 'Title - Alphabetical'), then the order value in this screen will be ignored. If the Menu Item Order parameter is set to use 'Order', then the items will display on the page based on the order in this screen.'
