Items in a binder are kept in a list, and you choose the order. Open the binder’s panel and drag an item by its reorder handle to move it up or down.

Reorder Step by Step

  1. Click the binder to open its panel.
  2. Find the reorder handle (the six-dot icon) on the item you want to move.
  3. Drag it up or down to its new place, then let go.

Ordering Ideas

  • Steps: put a process in the order you do it.
  • Chapters: keep long writing in reading order.
  • Priority: keep the most important items at the top.
  • Newest first: drag each new item to the top as you add it.

Shared Binders

A binder’s order is the same for everyone it is shared with, so reordering a shared binder changes it for everyone. People you share with need the Edit permission to reorder. See Share a Binder.

For Developers

Reorder binder items with the Opal REST API. See Binders API: Add, Remove, Reorder, and Duplicate.

FAQ

Can I sort a binder alphabetically?

There is no automatic sort. Drag items into the order you want.

Why does an item jump back when I drop it?

The new order could not be saved, for example because the connection dropped. Try again.
