AuctionNinja allows sellers to reorder their auctions. First sellers need to enter the manage auctions screen by selecting "auctions."    ![](https://support.auctionninja.com/hubfs/AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(20)-png.png)   From here, there are two ways to reorder lots. ### 1. Drag & Drop - Select the sale you wish to modify (so you see the **Edit Auction** screen). - Select "**Auction Sort**" from the auction checklist. ![](https://support.auctionninja.com/hubfs/AuctionNinja-Demo-AuctionNinja%20(12)-png.png)   This will take you to the **Auction Sort** screen where you can review your inventory and sort your lots.      ### 2. Manual Sorting To find the manual auction sort function, sellers must select the number of items located to the right of the Auction Time.  ![](https://support.auctionninja.com/hubfs/AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(21)-png.png)   This will take sellers to a list view of their auction inventory.  ![](https://support.auctionninja.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(22)-png.png?width=688&height=210&name=AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(22)-png.png)   Select the drop down arrow next to the lot number. Select the desired lot number.  **This will switch the lot numbers. If a seller is moving an item from lot 1 to lot 3, lot 3 will become lot 1.**   Adjust until the auction is properly lotted.  If a seller selects the auction title under the "auctions" tab, auction sort will appear as part of the auction checklist.  ![](https://support.auctionninja.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(23)-png-1.png?width=398&height=615&name=AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(23)-png-1.png) If a seller selects the "Auction Sort" option, they will see a grid view that preforms a similar function to the previously described method of sorting auctions.   ![](https://support.auctionninja.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(24)-png.png?width=688&height=358&name=AuctionNinja-Demo-Auction-Ninja%20(24)-png.png) [CLICK HERE](https://www.auctionninja.com/blog/order-is-everything) to read about the significance of lot order, and the impact it might have on an auction's outcome.  [CLICK HERE](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/vendor-resources-launch-auction?hsLang=en) for more information on editing and launching an auction.    - [Seller Resources](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Navigating the Seller Dashboard](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-resources?hsLang=en#navigating-the-seller-dashboard) - [Creating an Auction](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-resources?hsLang=en#creating-an-auction) - [Operations](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-resources?hsLang=en#operations) - [Basic Bidder Support](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-resources?hsLang=en#basic-bidder-support) - [Seller FAQ](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-faq?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Set-up & Policies](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-faq?hsLang=en#account-set-up-policies) - [Auction Set-up & Launch](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-faq?hsLang=en#auction-set-up-launch) - [Post Auction Options & Policies](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-faq?hsLang=en#post-auction-options-policies) - [Procedures & Operations](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-faq?hsLang=en#procedures-operations) - [Marketing & Advertising](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/seller-faq?hsLang=en#marketing-advertising) - [Bidder Resources](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/bidder-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Setup & Registration](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/bidder-resources?hsLang=en#account-setup-registration) - [Bidder FAQ's](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/bidder-resources?hsLang=en#bidder-faqs) - [Communications Preferences](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/bidder-resources?hsLang=en#communications-preferences) - [Bidding Explained](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/bidder-resources?hsLang=en#bidding-explained) - [Estate Sale Member Resources](https://support.auctionninja.com/knowledge/estate-sale-member-resources?hsLang=en) - [Default HubSpot Blog](https://auctionninja.hubspotpagebuilder.com/blog) [![AuctionNinja](https://support.auctionninja.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AuctionNinja/AuctionNinja-Standard%20Logo.png?width=4094&height=575&name=AuctionNinja-Standard%20Logo.png "AuctionNinja")](http://auctionninja.com?hsLang=en) auctionninja.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, AuctionNinja ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://8637804.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8637804/Untitled%20(Video)%20(1).mp4", "dateModified" : "2023-04-21T13:33:34.349Z", "duration" : "PT3S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "Untitled (Video) (1)", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://8637804.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8637804/Untitled%20(Video)%20(1).mp4/medium.jpg", "uploadDate" : "2023-04-21T13:33:25.220Z", "width" : 1920 } ```
