Could you give me more details about this? I’ve tried to reorder menu items as well as menu labels, and I seem to be able to do that from my dashboard just fine:

Do you experience issues on the front end of your site, where the menus are displayed to your readers? If so, could you let me know which theme you’re currently using, so I can give it a try as well?
Thanks!
Hello,
I’m using the auberge theme which apparently is compatible. I can change the order as you have shown in the dashboard as you show in the video. However even after doing this, when viewing the website (the front end) the order is still completely random and unaffected. I would like to be able to order the menu so it reads differently on the front end.
There doesn’t seem to be any changes when I reorder the menu items as you have shown.
The website is http://www.gigistrattoria.co.uk.
Thank you
That’s interesting. The backend appears to match the frontend on my test site:

Are you having trouble with one of your menu section pages, like this one?

If so, could you post a screenshot of what things look like for you in your dashboard? You can http://snag.gy/ to post your screenshots here.
Thanks!

here are two screenshots. Im not going to be able to get an answer by the end of the day which is my deadline so ill have to find another way of doing it. you people cause so much stress its unreal. im going back to coding myself next time.
All I needed was a product that worked.
Thanks for the screenshots. I was able to reproduce the issue as well.
Since the display of the menu is managed by your theme, we’ll need to look at the theme’s code.
Archive pages appear to be served through the default archive.php file. It might be worth creating a taxonomy-nova_menu.php file to handle menu archive pages separately, since they have their own ordering mechanism and can’t use the default ordering parameters used by posts and other post types. That custom order is saved in a WordPress option, nova_menu_order (ref).
If you don’t want to create a new custom archive template file, you could use the pre_get_posts filter to customize the query, just when dealing with the Menu taxonomies. You can add such a function to the theme’s functions.php file.
If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, I’d suggest contacting the theme author here:
https://wordpress.org/support/theme/auberge
I hope this helps.
no haha. I dont really get what you mean but this needs to be fixed. Shall I refer this thread to the theme support? or can you help?
Shall I refer this thread to the theme support?
Yes, that could help the theme author understand the issue, and implement a fix in a future update.
Just to let you know, I was able to reorder the food menu items with a free plugin named post types order
