Setting Order of How Pages Appear

Pages are usually ordered alphabetically within the main navigation menu bar of the website. Pages can be placed in a specific order, by using the attribute menu button within either “edit page” or “add page” (if it is a new page).

In the above example, the intention is to move the “Contact Us” to be displayed after “Our Services”.

Go to the Pages menu. Select the “Contact Us” page and choose “edit”. On the bottom of the right hand side of the page is the Attributes menu. Since this is the top level menu, the Parent should remain as Main Page.

The next attribute is Order. Here is where the order is defined. The numbering goes from 0 .. upwards. If the page is to be placed first, the order should 0, if it is to be placed third, then the number should be 2 ( 0, 1 ,2) etc. In this case, the Contact Us page will be placed as fourth item along. Change the setting of the order to 3. Go to the Publish menu and preview the changes.

The same method of ordering is done whether the webpages are placed horizontally ( as in the main navigation menu) or vertically ( as with submenus.)
