Title: Cannot sort attributes within groups Last modified: November 29, 2024 --- # Cannot sort attributes within groups * Resolved [OutBoxed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outboxed/) * (@outboxed) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-sort-attributes-within-groups/) * Hi there. * First of all, thank you so much for the awesome plugin that you provide for free. Secondly, **is it still not possible to change the display order of attributes within groups?** I think someone mentioned it more than a year ago, and I was hoping it would be possible by now 🙂 * For example, in the link I provided, “Flammability” needs to be the first attribute under the “General” group. Maybe I’m missing something? - This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by [OutBoxed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outboxed/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-sort-attributes-within-groups%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Dornaweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dornaweb/) * (@dornaweb) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-sort-attributes-within-groups/#post-18171273) * Hello, * Thanks for reaching out, * Currently you can re-order attributes in Attributes groups list page, there’s a small **“up/down”** icon which you can click and re-order attributes, however there’s currently a bug that after re-ordering you need to re-save the product as well, but this is being worked on and will be fixed in the upcoming release. * Also we are working on improving the UX to make attribute re-ordering more accessible, since a lot of users might not easily find this in its current placement. * Thread Starter [OutBoxed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outboxed/) * (@outboxed) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-sort-attributes-within-groups/#post-18172571) * Thank you so much for getting back to me! * You’re giving me hope, as I might just be missing something. Re-saving a product at this stage isn’t that big an issue, as we’re still in the development phase, and minimal products are loaded while we get the spec tables right – I just don’t want to do it once 500 product are loaded by next year. lol * Okay, so I just don’t see these arrows you’re talking about. Am I using the correct navigation “flow”? * I go to Specs. Tables >> Attributes >> Then click on the attributes group, like“ General”. Within that group I can then see all attributes assigned to that group, but no arrows. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/hosted.outbox.co.za/support/ST01.jpg?ssl=1) * ![](https://i0.wp.com/hosted.outbox.co.za/support/ST02.jpg?ssl=1) - This reply was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by [OutBoxed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outboxed/).

In the left menu You should navigate to **Specs. tables > Groups** and then find the group that holds your attributes, and then re-order them using the **up/down arrow icon** in actions column. * I’d be happy to help if further information is needed. * Thread Starter [OutBoxed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outboxed/) * (@outboxed) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-sort-attributes-within-groups/#post-18174951) * That’s a shame. So re-ordering the attributes is not an option. You can reorder groups, not attributes.
