Orderable lists allow you to specify the order in which items should appear.

Using the Slide Buttons to Change Order

To change the order using the slide buttons, select the value you would like to move by selecting it with the mouse. To move that item earlier in the list, press the Slide Up button. To move the selected item later in the list, press the Slide Down button. If an item can not be moved any farther in a given direction, the button for that direction will be disabled.

Dragging Items to Change Their Order

The order of items can also be changed by dragging the items to new positions in the list. To drag an item, move the mouse to the item you wish to drag, then press and hold down the left mouse button. Then, while holding down the mouse button, move the mouse to the new position. The mouse pointer should change to a "123" to indicate that the order will be changed by this operation. A dashed line will also be displayed showing where the item will be inserted. When the dashed line is in the desired position, release the mouse button and the order will be updated.
