Two videos ago I added a Login link to this Web site down in the footer and in
the last video I added a Home link to the Web site.
So I've got those two links down on the bottom in exactly the order I added them,
Login followed by Home.
What I'd really like to do it have Home first followed by Login.
So I need to reorder these menu items.
I'll show you how to do that now in the back end of Joomla!
We're going to go to our back end here.
We're going to go Menus.
In this case we're working with link setter in the footer.
So I'm going to go to the Footer Menu and you see here that I have my two links.
Right now these two links are listed in the following order.
So over here in this far left column, these three dots that are on top of each other.
This is a handle that you can grab to reorder your links.
If you happen to be sorting your menu items by something else click on say Title
or something, you'll notice those three dots are grayed out and you won't be
able to click on them to reorder.
You want to make sure that this is the selected column.
To do that click on this little icon on the top with the arrows and you'll see
those three dots go a dark black or gray color.
At that point when you roll your mouse over you'll see it turn into the
four-headed arrow and what you can do is simply click and drag to reorder your menu items.
This is so fabulous for Joomla!
to have this new click and drop reordering.
Previously, we always had to use bunch of arrows like Netflix style interface
where we can nudge our menu items up and down or we had this complicated method
of typing in numbers and clicking the Save button in order to reorder them.
Now it's just a simple drag-and-drop process to reorder your menu items.
I'm really excited about this is one of the great interface improvements inside of Joomla!.
It's really going to help your clients too.
So reordering things inside of Joomla!
is now very straightforward, just drag and drop and you'll reorder just fine.
Just make sure that you've got that column selected and the little three dots
need to be dark-colored, not the light gray.
When there is a dark color that's when you can grab onto them to reorder things.
