1 – Checking the filtering option on your team page
When you come to reorder, you move people along on a list. This will make sense in section 2.
As a result, on your team page it is important that the filter is set to accept this otherwise no matter what reordering you do, nothing will happen.
To begin with, go to your team page and edit it using the visual builder. On the page you will see a large grey box that will say ‘staff profile listing’. Click on it to bring menu options and click the cog icon to edit it.
You will see an option called ‘ordering’, click that. In the dropdown menu, you can specify a particular ordering which are:
- alphabetical order
- By date published
- Manual order
Alphabetical order will of course list everyone alphabeticlly by name, regardless of position within your company. By date published will order by the date each staff profile was published, usually with the most recently published shown first. As a result, both alphabetical and date published are generally limited in terms of how profiles are ordered.
If you are happy with this then you can leave the setting as it is. However, should you wish to order them with a custom order then there is the option for select manual order. Select that option and save the page.
Now that you’ve set to manual order, this is where you can begin to have oversight in the ordering your staff profiles!
2 – Reorder your staff profile listing
To do this, first login and go to the ‘Staff profiles’ link on the left. A series of options will appear when you hover it. You will see one for ‘reorder’ so click that.
You will be taken to a list of the various staff member profiles on your website. From the list, hover each listing and simple drag and drop that person into any position you want.
Positions at the top are shown first on your team page, and then so forth. For example, the person at the top is shown first. So if you have a senior member of staff, you can position them there to appear first.
Whatever ordering you decide, once you are finished scroll to the bottom and make sure you click the ‘update’ button to save your changes.

And that is it! Next time you are on the team page, it will be ordered as you specified it.
