00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Two videos ago I added a Login link to this Web site down in the footer and in

2
00:00:04,001 --> 00:00:08,001
the last video I added a Home link to the Web site.

3
00:00:08,002 --> 00:00:11,002
So I've got those two links down on the bottom in exactly the order I added them,

4
00:00:11,003 --> 00:00:13,003
Login followed by Home.

5
00:00:13,004 --> 00:00:16,004
What I'd really like to do it have Home first followed by Login.

6
00:00:16,005 --> 00:00:19,005
So I need to reorder these menu items.

7
00:00:19,006 --> 00:00:22,006
I'll show you how to do that now in the back end of Joomla!

8
00:00:22,007 --> 00:00:24,007
We're going to go to our back end here.

9
00:00:24,008 --> 00:00:26,008
We're going to go Menus.

10
00:00:26,009 --> 00:00:28,009
In this case we're working with link setter in the footer.

11
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:34,010
So I'm going to go to the Footer Menu and you see here that I have my two links.

12
00:00:34,011 --> 00:00:38,011
Right now these two links are listed in the following order.

13
00:00:38,012 --> 00:00:42,012
So over here in this far left column, these three dots that are on top of each other.

14
00:00:42,013 --> 00:00:46,013
This is a handle that you can grab to reorder your links.

15
00:00:46,014 --> 00:00:51,014
If you happen to be sorting your menu items by something else click on say Title

16
00:00:51,015 --> 00:00:54,015
or something, you'll notice those three dots are grayed out and you won't be

17
00:00:54,016 --> 00:00:56,016
able to click on them to reorder.

18
00:00:56,017 --> 00:00:59,017
You want to make sure that this is the selected column.

19
00:00:59,018 --> 00:01:04,018
To do that click on this little icon on the top with the arrows and you'll see

20
00:01:04,019 --> 00:01:07,019
those three dots go a dark black or gray color.

21
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:10,020
At that point when you roll your mouse over you'll see it turn into the

22
00:01:10,021 --> 00:01:16,021
four-headed arrow and what you can do is simply click and drag to reorder your menu items.

23
00:01:16,022 --> 00:01:19,022
This is so fabulous for Joomla!

24
00:01:19,023 --> 00:01:22,023
to have this new click and drop reordering.

25
00:01:22,024 --> 00:01:26,024
Previously, we always had to use bunch of arrows like Netflix style interface

26
00:01:26,025 --> 00:01:30,025
where we can nudge our menu items up and down or we had this complicated method

27
00:01:30,026 --> 00:01:34,026
of typing in numbers and clicking the Save button in order to reorder them.

28
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:39,027
Now it's just a simple drag-and-drop process to reorder your menu items.

29
00:01:39,028 --> 00:01:43,028
I'm really excited about this is one of the great interface improvements inside of Joomla!.

30
00:01:43,029 --> 00:01:45,029
It's really going to help your clients too.

31
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:48,030
So reordering things inside of Joomla!

32
00:01:48,031 --> 00:01:53,031
is now very straightforward, just drag and drop and you'll reorder just fine.

33
00:01:53,032 --> 00:01:57,032
Just make sure that you've got that column selected and the little three dots

34
00:01:57,033 --> 00:02:00,033
need to be dark-colored, not the light gray.

35
00:02:00,034 --> 00:02:04,034
When there is a dark color that's when you can grab onto them to reorder things.
