Maxanet lets you control the display order of auction items and insert new items between existing ones. Use the Display Order column on the Items tab to reorder items, or create sub-numbered items like 1A to slot new items between items 1 and 2 without renumbering everything. For bulk reordering, edit the Excel template instead.

On the Items tab of your auction, the first column is Display Order. Click into the display order number for any item and change it. When you save, Maxanet automatically re-sorts all the other items in ascending order to accommodate your change. Use this when you want to move an item earlier or later in the auction display.

To add a new item between existing items 1 and 2, click Add on the Items tab to create a new item, then set its item number to 1A (or similar) and its Display Order to a value between 1 and 2. Maxanet honors letter suffixes in item numbers and will display 1A between items 1 and 2 on the public auction page. This is much faster than renumbering every subsequent item.

For bulk reordering (dozens or hundreds of items), download the auction's Excel inventory template from Lot Actions → Download Inventory in Excel Sheet, edit the Display Order and Item Number columns directly in the spreadsheet, save, and upload the file back through Lot Actions → Import Inventory Excel Sheet. Maxanet applies the new order on upload.

Yes. Maxanet supports alpha suffixes and special characters in item numbers. Use this with the Display Order field to slot items between existing numbered items.

No. Maxanet automatically re-sorts the remaining items in ascending order when you change a single display order value.

Download the Excel template, reverse the Display Order column values, save, and re-upload. Faster than clicking through every item individually.
