Hi Jon,
Thanks for the email!
If you have a list of properties on your site and you'd like to show them in a specific order then you'll just want to follow a couple of quick steps:
1. Log into Listings Manager and click Setup Options-> Setup Listing Fields. From here you'll want to create a new text field called "Sort Order". This will basically be a field that will allow you to set a number and choose the order that the listings will show up.
2. Once you've created this field, you should just be able to tweak the URL you've provided here and add this at the end:
&sort_order=X,123,reverse
- "X" is the field number used when you created your new field in step 1
- "123" states that this will sort numerically. You can use "abc" to sort alphabetically though it wouldn't work in this case.
- "reverse" will sort with the highest number first (meaning that a listing with a value of 100 in your new field will show up before a listing of 1). You can use "forward" so the lowest number will show up first.
I hope this helps!

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the email!
Were you hoping to have the listings on this page sorted at all? If not, then for this page you could just remove the "&sort_order=8,123,forward".
If you did still want to use the sorting on this page, can you let me know what the values are for these 3 listings so I can see what might be happening here? Generally you will want to put a value in this field for each listing as any blank values will end up grouping together and in this case may end up showing first in the list.
I look forward to hearing from you!
