Hi everybody.


How can I sort the apps icons in the dashboard? They are in a complete disorder.

I am using Odoo14 Enterprise.



Maybe you call it switcher..

To simplify, you can follow steps 1 and 2 of Kamrul's good instructions and then go to Filters > "Add Custom Filter" > "Parent Menu" > "is not set" > and then choose your sequence by simply "switching" up and down as desired.

The order will be reset during an upgrade. We have a way to search for Menus from the home screen.

Dashboard apps sorting as a sequence, so need to change the sequence. Apps will be sorted.

You can sort apps dashboard following those step:

Step 1: Go to Setting menu from dashboard and Active developer mode 

Step 2: Again go to setting and Technical > Menu Items 

Step 3: Search which dashboard app want to sort like 'Sales' and edit Sequence, input your menu sequence 0

Then check dashboard apps will be sorted.

Hi,

You can set menu orders from Settings > Technical > User Interface > Menu Items (First activate developer mode from general settings).


However, if you're looking for more control over how menus or apps are displayed in the backend (e.g., sorting them alphabetically or differently per user), there are community modules available that can enhance this experience. For example, I've found these two quite practical in real-world use cases:

  • Alphabetical Sorting of Menus: Useful when you want to keep your main menu structured A-Z for better navigation.
    menu_sort_alphabetical_odonity
  • User-Specific Menu Order: Helps if different users prefer different menu layouts or workflows. It allows customizing menu order individually.
    user_wise_menu_sorting_odonity

Both are plug-and-play and work seamlessly in the backend UI.

Hopefully this helps anyone trying to improve backend usability, especially in multi-user environments!

Hi Kamrul.

Putting the dashboard app sequence to 0 doesn't sort them alphabetically...

Do I really have to edit every menu item and sort them one by one ?

Not every menu you can only parent menu Ricardo's instruction and 0 to increase alphabetically. 0 just an example.
