Quick sort
Libraries can be sorted alphabetically or by their creation date. These sorts are applied within their respective host categories. To use this feature, click on the quick sort option and choose your preferred order. Your selection will be automatically applied.
Custom ordering with drag and drop
For greater control over your library arrangement, use the drag-and-drop feature to create a custom order.
Using a mouse:
Hover your cursor over the library you want to move; the cursor will change to show four arrows.
Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the library to your desired location.
Release the mouse button, and your library will drop into place. The sort order will automatically change to 'Custom'.
Using a touch screen or keyboard navigation:
Select the library's three-dot menu.
Select 'Move to'.
Select the new position for the library and click 'Move'.
Note: You cannot drag and drop libraries across different library categories. If you apply a quick sort option while a custom sort is in place, you will be prompted to confirm the changes before the custom sort is overridden.
