__**IV/How to change menu order:** __

Simply just drag & drop the cards at **Menu Structure**, replace or moving these cards as order you preferred.

An example, we decided to move Events at the end of order to the 2<sup>nd</sup> position on Main Menu.

{{:admin_dashboard:system_admin:system_settings:afb701c0b05adcbdf9d843394699a589.jpg}}

#Drag Event card and then drop it below Home card.

#Hit Save Menu button.

{{:admin_dashboard:system_admin:system_settings:4ec208f763acbdb76fcad6d4e2de2bea.jpg}}

#After moved

And at Front-end, we have:

{{:admin_dashboard:system_admin:system_settings:a9351e622eabfe03080c40ee74a0cd6d.jpg}}

# Events has been moved to 2<sup>nd</sup> position.

__**V/How to set Sub-Menu**__:

Just like moving menu, we drop & drag cards in **Menu Structure ** to the position below others to make them as sub-menus for these cards.

Now, example, we set Events as a sub-menu for Home:

{{:admin_dashboard:system_admin:system_settings:e65e5eb73fdbd992122978c04f578ed4.jpg}}

#Drag then Drop Events card to position below Home, and little bit to the right to make it as Sub-Menu of Home.

{{:admin_dashboard:system_admin:system_settings:078d54f91fdd83616862c10adab9c881.jpg}}

#The Events is now Sub-Menu of Home, you can see Events card now has the //sub item // next to it.

At the Front-End:

{{:admin_dashboard:system_admin:system_settings:2d61df9a52fedfc1a1f6f1905a71aaf2.jpg}}
