How to change the order of siblings in the model?

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

In the semantic model (http://openhab:8080/settings/model/) I have something like this:

Property
  Back Yard
  Front Yard
  House
    Ground Floor
    Upstairs

And then say I add another item, let’s call it First Floor, under House, and I end up with this:

Property
  Back Yard
  Front Yard
  House
    First Floor
    Ground Floor
    Upstairs

But what I actually want is this:

Property
  Back Yard
  Front Yard
  House
    Ground Floor
    First Floor
    Upstairs

How can I do that, short of deleting everything and starting anew?

Don’t tell me it’s alphabetic order display…

You are talking about locations? Because your example is more like a location..

You can change the order by clicking the “edit” symbol on your home page.

Then you go to the “Code” page and see “cardOrder”:

You don’t need to change the code manually to adjust the order.

Click on the edit icon → By default “Locations” will be selected. You can toggle which Locations get shown here and there is a “Reorder” button on the right. You can toggle which ones are shown and change the order for Equipment and Properties too.

I can’t remember how/whether it’s possible to add separators though. You might need to use the code tab for that.

If you want to have it sorted in the model view, just add metadata „Default Widget Order Index“ to each entry in the model.
