Hi nice articles about how to make articles.

Is there a way to sort articles inside a Series. It turns out that I need to add a few articles in the middle of the series but because they are newer they are automatically pushed to the bottom of the series list.

Any tip on how to arrange them?

Otherwise I will need to back up everything, copy and paste the articles again, but if in the future I need to add another article in the middle, the process become tiresome.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there's currently a way to custom order a series unfortunately. Poking around on the forem repo (what powers DEV) the ordering seems to be hardcoded to the publish/cross-post date: github.com/forem/forem/blob/9e439f...

Thank you so much for the quick answer.

Yeah I was afraid that is hardcoded to the publishing date. I may need to remove the series table entirely and rely on 1 article acting as a table of content.
