Question

In default the ordering of left menu items is in alphabetical order.

My client wants to order those menus manually. Any idea how to make it possible?

Answer 1

There are two ways to achieve this:

1. By setting priority to Resource
2. Ordering Resource models in NovaServiceProvider

1. Priority Method

• Add priority as in the following code in Resource model:

    public static $priority = 2;
  

• Then update NovaServiceProvider like this:

  public function boot()
  {
      Nova::sortResourcesBy(function ($resource) {
          return $resource::$priority ?? 9999;
      });
  }
  

2. Ordering Resource models in NovaServiceProvider

In NovaServiceProvider, order Resource models like this:

protected function resources()
{
    Nova::resources([
        User::class,
        Post::class,
    ]);
 }
