I have multiple sidebars ( and will have lots more) but I really need a way to organize them alphabetically or something like that. I thought I might be able to drag and drop (when in the sidebars view) but this is not possible.
Is there a way to do this please?
Thanks
Karen

Add the sidebars in the order you want them to appear in the widget panel.

well thats all very well Ron but I would have to delete them all and start again to do that wouldn't I?
I have 40 sidebars each been added over time. And now they need organizing somehow alphabetically. Cannot drag and drop as I've mentioned.
I can rename them and keep the origianl ID but they still don't arrange themselves alphabetically.
I think maybe there is a plugin that would do this or some other way. Drag and drop would be perfect!
Actually as its genesis sidebars maybe I should be asking them :-)

Yes, unfortunately, that's the only way to set the order of them.

I imagine you could edit the sidebar ID via SQL. I'm guessing that the sidebars are currently being sorted by their ID number.

@mortensn - they are stored in a serialized array. Editing it is not advised.

oh dear.. looks like I might be stuck with them in disarray then hmm. we need a side bar sorter plugin making by some clever someone :-)
Its strange really because unlimited sidebars are a feature ( I think of genesis???) so perhaps I'll contact them and ask if they can help.
Im sure I'm not alone in needing this to happen.
Many thanks for your help guys
