Answer:

Menu Items are ordered in different ways, depending on:

The Source of the Menu Item Element

As well as the Display Options selected


Menu Item source set to Booking or Event

Not grouping items by Event or Event Start Date

When sorting by serving time - items are first sorted by their drag-n-drop position, then their serving date/time, then their event’s start date/time, then their event’s end date/time

When NOT sorting by serving time - Items are first sorted by their drag-n-drop position, then their event’s start date/time, then their event’s end date/time

When sorting by serving time

Grouping items by Event / Event Start Date

Same sorting as above applies, this just controls whether the items are displayed under their respective event and/or Date


Menu Item source set to ‘Invoice'

When sorting by serving time - items are first sorted by their drag-n-drop position and then by their serving date/time

When NOT sorting by serving time - items are sorted by their drag-n-drop position on the invoice

Grouping items by Event / Event Date

same sorting as above applies, this just controls whether the items are displayed under their respective event and/or Date


Additional Information

If you are using Serving Times, you can also choose to sort the items by their serving time by editing the Menu Items Document Element

Drag-n-drop
