  1. Navigate within the course to the location of the reading list link.
  2. Click the reading list link.
  3. If a "Click for Readings" button appears, click that button.
  4. In the Search page that opens in a new window or tab:
    1. Click the "See Current Reading List" link near the top of the page.
    2. Locate the "Sort Order" boxes for the items in your reading list. Each item has a sort order box located to the right.
    3. Type numbers in the Sort Order boxes to set the order in which items appear.
      • Items with smaller numbers appear higher on the list than items with larger numbers.
