# Is It Possible to Sort My Dashboards?

## Overview

The "Sort Dashboards" feature lets you control the order in which your dashboards are displayed. You have two options: either sort dashboards automatically by date, name, or type, or set the order yourself with drag & drop. This makes it easier to keep your most important dashboards at the top and your list organized.

## Accessing the Function

You can access the sort feature via the main menu by navigating to **Dashboards**. There, in the **dashboard menu**, you'll find the **Sort** option. This opens the corresponding settings window directly.

## Step-by-Step Guide

### Step 1: Open the Dashboard Sorting Modal

First, go to the **Dashboards** section, open the dashboard menu, and click on **Sort**. The window titled **Dashboard Sorting** will appear. Here you’ll find a dropdown to select the sorting criteria, a list of your dashboards that you can arrange with drag & drop, and buttons labeled **Cancel** and **Save**. Special dashboards like **AMC Dashboard (Request)** are fixed at the top and can’t be moved.

### Step 2: Sorting Dashboards

1. **Based on criteria:**  
   Select your preferred sorting method for automatic ordering from the dropdown at the top:

- **Newest First (Default)**: The most recently created dashboards are shown at the top.
- **Oldest First**: The first-created dashboards are shown at the top.
- **Alphabetical**: Sorts dashboards from A to Z by name.
- **Alphabetical (Reverse)**: Sorts dashboards from Z to A.
- **By Dashboard Type**: Groups dashboards by type (AMC first, then DSP, and then other PPC dashboards), sorting alphabetically within each group.

Fixed entries like **AMC Dashboard (Request)** will always be at the top.

1. **Set a manual order:**  
   If you want to set the order yourself, simply hold and drag a dashboard to a new position in the list. Once you move a dashboard manually, the dropdown automatically switches to **Manual**. After saving, this order is permanently stored for your user account.

Here too, fixed dashboards like **AMC Dashboard (Request)** will always remain at the top and can’t be moved.

### Step 3: Save Changes: Apply Your Sorting Permanently

To confirm your sorting preferences, click **Save**. This will permanently apply your chosen order to your account. If you selected automatic sorting, your preference will be saved as the default; for manual sorting, the specific order will be saved. If you don’t want to save changes, close the window with **Cancel**.

## Settings & Options

Your selected sorting preference is saved to your user profile and will always be active in your view – even if you log in on another device.

## Limitations & Special Notes

- The default setting is **Newest First (Default)**.
- If you have no dashboards, you can't sort anything.
- If you have many dashboards, it may take a moment for the new order to be visible after saving.

## Tips & Best Practices

- Use **Newest First (Default)** if you work mainly with new dashboards and want to find them quickly.
- Choose **Manual** if you always want certain dashboards at the top and use your own workflow.
- Pick clear, consistent names, e.g. with prefixes like "\[Team\]" or "\[Client\]", so alphabetical sorting remains practical.
