Changing the Sort Order of sideboxes

Hello,

I googled this and it linked me to this: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=48

I did as it said but the sideboxes didn't change order at all. Am I supposed to change some files manually? :huh:

Re: Changing the Sort Order of sideboxes

From where did you get your template? Some commercial templates "fix" the locations of sideboxes.

Alternatively, to change the order you should always change the left/right column sort order, even if you only have one side column, and remember to press update changing each one.

Re: Changing the Sort Order of sideboxes

I'm using templates/classic

This is my site: http://www.mosaicdiscovery.com/
Basically what I want to do is put the box "Customize" above "Installed Mosaic"

Here is the ordering setup in admincp (check attachment)
What exactly am I doing wrong here?

Re: Changing the Sort Order of sideboxes

Can't see "installed Mosaic" in the list on your screenshot... but basically, the lower the number in the sort order column, the higher it appears in the list on site. You have Customise set to 41, you need to have installed Mosaic set with a higher number that that.

Re: Changing the Sort Order of sideboxes

I think the "Installed Mosaic" block is the "featured.php" - if not, how can I know which file is for which block?
And if "Installed Mosaic" isn't listed than how come it's appearing on the sidebar?

Re: Changing the Sort Order of sideboxes

Installed Mosaic is the blank_sidebox.php (currently 9) and Customize is more_information.php (currently 49).
