Re-Order Categories in NUX

jasonblinn

As a Workspace Admin, I need the ability to re-order the categories that are created in NUX.

 

As it stands right now it appears that they will auto-sort to Alphabetical order and/or Numerical order. I cannot always rely on this as sometimes I may use a numbering system for the pages themselves and it becomes confusing to number or index the categories. It is a standard functionality to "Move" or re-order all other aspects of Anaplan (Functional Areas, Modules, Lists, List Members, Lines items, etc.) and it would make sense to follow suit here.

 

I know this is successful when I am able to choose the order that the categories are displayed, in the NUX.

I agree with this one.  We have had to use a numbering scheme or get creative with the word choices so they fall in the right order.  We like to organize the pages so they follow a business process sequence, which is why we'd like the ability to re-order as we see fit.

Agree on this one.

Think that in simpler use-cases the numbering should be fine.

For more complex use-cases the numbering doesnt always cut it.

FYI I found that starting the category labels with 1) Abc, 2) Def, 3)  Ghi, Can by-pass the re-ordering limitation.

I can only agree with this one.

The neccessity to use a numeric or alphabetic logic in the page label in order to secure a sorting is especially problematic when some user roles don't have access to all pages. For them it would be 1. X, 2. Y, 4. Y which can be confusing for end users. The ability to move should therfore also be possible for pages.

Hi
any news?

Completely agrre with @Alice1006 This can be a real headache when you create new categories and/or pages.

thank you

I'm still looking for when this feature rolled out, possibly this past weekend. But you can now drag to sort categories, no alphabetical sorting required.

Does anyone know if there are plans to have this be a setting that you can toggle on vs. off?

Over time I've actually become quite partial to the automatic alphabetical sorting, and while I can't believe I'm saying it, I wish I can go back to how it was.

Reason being, it forces you to number your categories and pages, making it that much easier to communicate about pages when there are issues. For instance, "hey Person ABC, i'm having an issue with page 15-23", which would be the 23rd page under the 15th category. Makes it easy to confirm we're talking about the same thing.

And also, importantly, as you create new pages, you don't have to manually do a page refresh (Ctrl+R or F5) to manually move a page you just added (currently if you add a page, you can't re-order it until you refresh the page).

If we had alphabetical ordering, we could just renumber pages and it would automatically sort them for us, which tends to be way more efficient and way faster than the manual drag and drop.
