How Do I Reorder Items in Squarespace?

Reordering items in Squarespace is a straightforward process, but it can vary slightly depending on the type of content you are working with, such as products, blog posts, or gallery images. Here are detailed steps to reorder items across different sections of your Squarespace website:

1. Reordering Products in a Store

For Version 7.1:

  1. Log In to Your Squarespace Account:
  2. Navigate to your Squarespace website and log in with your credentials.

  3. Access the Commerce Panel:

  4. From the dashboard, click on the “Commerce” option on the left-hand side menu.

  5. Select Your Inventory:

  6. Click on “Inventory” to see a list of products in your store.

  7. Reorder Products:

  8. Click and drag the product items to reorder them as needed. The new arrangement will be automatically saved.

For Version 7.0:

  1. Log In to Your Squarespace Account:
  2. Navigate to your Squarespace website and log in with your credentials.

  3. Navigate to Your Store Page:

  4. From the dashboard, click on “Pages” and then select your store page from the page list.

  5. Edit Products:

  6. Click on the "Edit" button found next to the store section to modify your product list.

  7. Reorder Products:

  8. Drag and drop the products to reorder them as necessary. The changes will be applied automatically.

2. Reordering Blog Posts

Manual Reordering Not Supported:

  • Squarespace does not support manual ordering of blog posts since they are automatically ordered by their publication date, with the newest posts appearing first.

Alternative Methods:

  1. Adjust the Publish Date:
  2. Enter the blog post editor, modify the publication date and time to reorder the posts.
  3. Navigate to the blog post you want to reorder, click “Edit,” change the date under the post settings, and save the changes.

3. Reordering Gallery Images

For Both Version 7.0 and 7.1:

  1. Log In to Your Squarespace Account:
  2. Navigate to your Squarespace website and log in with your credentials.

  3. Access the Gallery Page:

  4. From the dashboard, click on “Pages” and select your gallery page.

  5. Edit Gallery:

  6. Click “Edit” for the gallery you’d like to reorder.

  7. Reorder Images:

  8. In the gallery editing area, drag and drop images to reorder them. The new order will save automatically when you leave the editor.

4. Reordering Navigation Links

  1. Log In to Your Squarespace Account:
  2. Navigate to your Squarespace website and log in with your credentials.

  3. Access the Pages Panel:

  4. From the dashboard, click on “Pages” to see the site navigation structure.

  5. Reorder Navigation Links:

  6. Drag and drop the pages or navigation links to rearrange them. The changes will be reflected immediately in the site's navigation menu.

Considerations and Limitations:

  • While reordering products and gallery images is simple and intuitive, reordering blog posts requires adjusting publication dates, which may not always be desirable if the timeline of your posts is important.
  • Be mindful of SEO implications when changing publish dates for blog posts, as this could affect their visibility and indexing on search engines.
  • Always preview your changes to ensure they appear as intended on both desktop and mobile versions of your site.

By following these steps, you can efficiently organize and manage the content on your Squarespace website to enhance both its aesthetic appeal and functionality.
