CMS 10.6 Reordering List Items via In-Context Editing


Prerequisites: The list element must contain at least two list items for users to reorder.

Users can reorder list items contained within list elements via the In-Context edit mode (ICE). The system moves the list item and, if applicable, the item's nested content tray from the original location to the new list order placement.

To reorder list items in content trays via ICE:
  1. Access ICE mode. See Accessing ICE Mode for details.
  2. Select or hover your cursor over the header of the list item you want to reorder in the page fields structure within the Edit tab workspace.
    Note
    The list element icon List Element Icon in the header of a list element indicates where a list starts within the page fields structure. Icons nested within the list element indicate the list items and their item type (for example, the gear icon Component Element Icon indicates a component type list item).
    The header toolbar of the list item displays.

  3. Choose one of the following steps.
    Note
    If toolbar options don't initially display, then select the Show Actions vertical ellipses (...) icon to access the toolbar options.
    • Reorder list items via drag and drop.
      1. Press and drag the move list item icon handle Move List Item Icon or the Reorder Items in List icon Reorder Items in List Icon in the list item header toolbar.

        The list item becomes movable, and active bars (blue) display to indicate where you can move the item in the list element.

        Note
        If bars reside outside the list order, then those bars become inactive (i.e., dimmed).

      2. Drag and hover the list item over a bar in the list element structure, and drop the item when the bar displays the following text.

        Troubleshooting
        If the bar displays as inactive where you want to move the content tray, then select the list that contains the bar, and then repeat the drag and drop steps.
    • Reorder list items via the move list item icon context menu.
      1. Right-click the move list item icon handle Move List Item Icon in the list item header toolbar.
      2. Select one of the following options in the context menu that displays.
        OptionDescription
        Move UpMove the current list item directly above its sibling list item.
        Move DownMove the current list item directly below its sibling list item.
        Move to TopMove the current list item to the top in the list order.
        Move to BottomMove the current list item to the bottom in the list order.
    The list item and, if applicable, the nested content tray moves from the original location to the new location within the list item order.
