offer a few suggestions.</p>
<p>I'll assume it is dynamic and that it is built with an index
block and format. If this is true, your index block has options for
sorting: folder order, creation date, and last modified date.
Folder order would be my guess for what is being used. From there
it can be sorted ascending or descending.</p>
<p>Every asset in the asset tree is listed in a certain order. To
view this order, click on the parent folder of a particular asset
and note the column called "Order" with a number assigned to each
asset. Click on the heading for "Order" and it will show them in
asc or desc order. From there you can drag and drop each asset into
your desired order.</p>
<p>Sorting can also be done in a format. There is a Velocity Tool
called the $_SortTool that is sometimes used. This would sort
assets after being returned by an index block and reorder whatever
order was originally defined, so check the format as well.</p>
<p>If the left nav is not dynamic, you should be able to edit the
XHTML or XML or whatever block that info is contained in by hand to
change the order.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>Charlie Holder
