Category is the most important field we use to categorize FAQs in Drupal. Each page of a website that displays FAQs has a category specific to that page. This is the field you will use to make FAQs display on your website.

Lastly, enter the Section Access that is associated with your FAQ section and select the "Save" button which will save the FAQ and publish it to your FAQ section.

Re-Order FAQs

FAQs can be ordered in number of different ways, either by alphabetical order via title (a-z or z-a), newest to oldest first (or visa versa), display weight, plus others. You will be able to rearrange your FAQs if they are sorted by Display Weight. Any other method, you will need to contact Web Services for assistance.

To change the Display Weight of a FAQ:

Open the "Edit FAQ" page for the respective FAQ.
At the bottom of the page, under "Section Access", modify the "Display Weight" by selecting a value from the dropdown list. Depending on sort order of the FAQs, either smaller numbers will have priority or larger numbers will.
Click the "Save" button to save changes. Visit the page the FAQ is located on and make note of the new FAQ order. This will help in modifying the Display Weight of the other FAQs.

Contact Web Services via email at webservices@csusb.edu for assistance on determining the FAQ sort order or help reordering the FAQs.
