Ordering Categories

You can generate the printed catalog grouped by category.

When doing this it is common to want to order the categories in a specific order. By default, the categories will simply be listed in alphabetical order.

If you look at the item category list you will see a Sort Index field that can be used to adjust this ordering:

The categories will be sorted first by sort index and then by alphabetically by name.

This means the categories you want to come first should have a lower sort index defined and those categories you want to appear later should have a higher sort index value defined.

You can adjust the sort index directly from the item categories list or double click on a row to drill into its details.
