This feature is only available in Standard Data Rooms.
In addition to changing the indexes of files and folders manually, they can be changed via reordering and reindexing. Reordering refers to the manual movement of files and folders in the file list or folder tree. Reindexing refers to the automatic adjustment of indexes in a single folder, a folder with all its subfolders or the entire data room.

​
Reordering files and folders

Files and folders can be reordered by dragging them in the file list or the folder tree. When a file or folder is dropped, a Confirm Reordering dialog appears. Click on the Reorder button to apply the new ordering, or Cancel to leave the ordering unchanged. Multiple files may be selected by using the Shift key or the Ctrl key (Cmd on Mac).
All users with write rights in a folder are able to reorder the contents of the folder.

Reindexing a folder or the whole data room

To close index gaps or order files and folders alphabetically, use the Reindex button in the top menu. You can reindex a single folder, a folder with all its subfolders or the entire data room. Reindex files and folders To reindex the entire data room, select the top folder of the data room, click the Reindex button and set Target to Current folder and subfolders.

The reindexing operation is irreversible and can change the whole ordering (and thus the index structure) of a data room. The Reindex button is therefore available to administrators only.
