To learn how to do that, follow the steps below: 1. From the [My Publications](https://www.joomag.com/Backend/ControlPanel/MagazineWizard/Magazine/index.php) page open the collection you wish and click the **Viewer Settings** button from the **Actions** tab. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio589035918b73ab7cfd272a91861aeb563aea44ced-799a-442b-b044-8f5fbfed6ad9-1.png) **Note:** you can also find the viewer settings in the following way. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio589037864a913d39e9b32100deb286ad522f24c82-b555-4300-aa23-7ef710c8070b-1.png) 2. Click the **Manage ordering** link under the **Publications panel** checkbox. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio58903865131778674a2cb57787b216eb09b19e454-79d6-4df5-b5c4-48b7dc05fc0f-1.png) 3. Here you can change the Panel Name and choose one of the following ordering types: - **Default** - Your Publications will be sorted accordingly to the sequence of Live Publications in your collection. - **Publication date** - To sort the Publications, the system will use the year that is written in the volume of thePublication as the Publication Date. **Note:** In case the date is not mentioned in the Volume, the system will use the date when the publication was pushed to Live. The following is the list of possible formats that, when used in volume, will be detected as the date to sort the publications in your collection: - 2019 September 2019October   - Mar. 2018 Apr. 2018   - November 2019 February 2020   - November 21, 2018 December 31, 2019   - 2019-1 2019-2 2019-03 2019-04   - 4/14 04/15   - 10.12.16   - 13th September 2015 23rd March 2016 In case you have only a 4-digit year mentioned anywhere within the volume, and that year is within 1970 and the current year range, the system will use that year as the publication date. 4. You can also order your publications within the collection manually. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-1.comio5890430627a0c7aa0f14561c09b878cc7ezgif-2-fd24ca6dd4-1.gif) That's it.
