How do I reorder files or folders within Resources?

Setting an order in which files and folders appear will affect the experience of all site participants. If an instructor wishes students to go directly to Resources to locate content items, this feature allows the items to be placed in a specific order.

The process is the same for reordering both files and folders.

Go to Resources.

Select the Resources tool from the Tool Menu of your site.

Reordering folders

Click Actions, and then select Reorder.
