In Joomla, you can change the order that menu\u2019s display in from the Dashboard. In this tutorial we will walk you through this modification.<\/p>\n

Changing the Menu Order:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Login to your Joomla Dashboard<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Roll your mouse over Menus<\/strong>, and click the menu you want to modify. In my tests, I selected Main Menu<\/em>:
    \"choose<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. You will see the menus listed in order of how they display on the page. Use the blue arrows<\/strong> to re-order<\/em> or modify<\/em> the menu location. As a test, I am moving the Example Pages<\/em> link to the top.
    Here is the default menu order, notice the location of the Example Pages<\/em> link:
    \"joomla<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Now, I will click the arrow next to Example Pages<\/strong>, until it is all the way on top. Each time you click the arrow, you will see a message stating \u201cOrdering successfully saved.\u201d:
    \"clicking<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Once you have moved it to the top, refresh your website, and you will see the menu order<\/strong> has changed:
    \"menu<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Congratulations, now you know how to Re-order the menu\u2019s for Joomla, from the dashboard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
