  I can’t seem to re-order my list of blogs (I have three: two published, one unpublished) on my dashboard. Anyone else have this sort of issue?

  I’m using Google Chrome on Win 7… if that makes any difference.

  What do you mean by blogs please? Some people call published posts ie. articles blogs. Most of us here in North America do not use that term for posts.

  If you mean the blogs in the “My Blogs” drop-down menu on the top gray navigation bar then they are alphabetically ordered by Blog Title and we cannot change that. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/

  If you mean posts then all blogs display posts in reverse chronological order and this cannot be reversed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/ We can create a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/

  Not posts, but actual blogs.

  For example:
  blog1.wordpress.com
  blog2.wordpress.com
  blog3.wordpress.com

  From the navigation bar, I navigate to “My Blogs” > “Manage Blogs”
  There I see my list of blogs. I have three of them. I would like to re-order them by using the “Up/Down Arrow” feature, which I had discovered through WordPress support pages here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#blog-order

  And when I hover my cursor over “My Blogs” in the navigation bar, mine aren’t listed alphabetically at all in the drop-down menu, ascending nor descending order.

  ???

  If you have reordered them on the my blogs page in the dashboard but they are not being reflected in the my blogs dropdown in the grey admin bar, log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then take another look.

  I’m using Firefox 3.6.15 and I cannot see the “Up/Down Arrow” feature either. It sounds like it may be time for you to contact Staff. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Well, I’ve tried to re-order them using the “Up/Down” arrows feature, but nothing happens. I’ll try clearing my browser. I’ll try Firefox too.

  Thanks for the help folks.

  If you hover over the blog title in the left column, the up and down arrows should be there. They are there for me in Safari and Firefox 3.6.15.

  Maybe I’m hovering in the wrong spot but I don’t see them. I went to the My Blogs drop-down form the gray navigation bar and hovered over every blog title – NADA!

  I sent a note to staff and they told me that it’s an issue they are aware of and have been working on a fix for it.

  FYI… just an update… I think this issue may be resolved for I can now re-order my blogs using the “Manage Blogs” option from the drop down menu. Thanks.
