      Hinweis:
      Use increments of 100 when determining the order. This method makes it easier to edit. For example, you numbered your links 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and wanted to place a new content after 2. You would have to renumber 3, 4, and 5. If you use 100, 200, and 300 and wanted to place content from 100 through 200, you can use any number from 101 through 199. You can use negative numbers such as -100.
    5. Click Update for changes to reflect.
      Order and Active status settings persist from this table.
    6. Set the Advanced portal navigation record status value to Active to manage the display order and navigation preferences.
