# Joomla Menu Re-Ordering

In Joomla, you can change the order that menu’s display in from the Dashboard. In this tutorial we will walk you through this modification.

## Changing the Menu Order:

1. [Login to your Joomla Dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/).
2. Roll your mouse over **Menus**, and click the menu you want to modify. In my tests, I selected *Main Menu*: [![choose menu to edit](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_selecting-menu.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_selecting-menu.png)
3. You will see the menus listed in order of how they display on the page. Use the **blue arrows** to *re-order* or *modify* the menu location. As a test, I am moving the *Example Pages* link to the top. Here is the default menu order, notice the location of the *Example Pages* link: [![joomla menu](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_default-menu.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_default-menu.png) Now, I will click the arrow next to **Example Pages**, until it is all the way on top. Each time you click the arrow, you will see a message stating “Ordering successfully saved.”: [![clicking arrows to reorder](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_moving-example-pages.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_moving-example-pages.png) Once you have moved it to the top, refresh your website, and you will see the **menu order** has changed: [![menu after modifying](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_reordered-menu.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/edu_joomla25_joomla-menu-reorder_reordered-menu.png)

Congratulations, now you know how to Re-order the menu’s for Joomla, from the dashboard!
