Change the Order of Topics in DITA Maps

You can change the order and nesting of the topics in a map in several ways:

• By dragging and dropping topics within the DITA Maps Manager.
• By showing the extended DITA Maps Manager toolbar (click the Settings icon on the DITA Maps Manager toolbar and select the extended toolbar) and then using the node moving buttons () on the toolbar to move topics around in the map.

To understand how to organize topics in a DITA map using the DITA Maps Manager, you can examine and experiment with the sample map called flowers.ditamap, located in the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/samples/dita folder.
