Categories wont move up/down, leaving gaps...

I was organising some apps into categories but the buttons wont work to move them up and down, leaving these gaps when not in edit mode

i have the same issue

ipqowOP•17mo ago

a solution that ive found is to go to the config file and change the position for each of the categories, e.g.

"categories": [
    {
      "id": "--",
      "name": "Services",
      "position": 1 <------
    },
    {
      "id": "--",
      "name": "System Stats",
      "position": 2 <------
    },
    {
      "id": "--",
      "position": 3, <------
      "name": "Homarr",
      "type": "category"
    }

"categories": [
    {
      "id": "--",
      "name": "Services",
      "position": 1 <------
    },
    {
      "id": "--",
      "name": "System Stats",
      "position": 2 <------
    },
    {
      "id": "--",
      "position": 3, <------
      "name": "Homarr",
      "type": "category"
    }

they were 4, 6, 7 when i checked so i put them back to 1, 2, 3 and they seem to be fine now

where did you find this?

ipqowOP•17mo ago

in the config file, i installed it in docker in ubuntu so it is here /homarr/configs/default.json

Sorry for my late reply. Yes, this is the correct way of fixing it.

when I have this problem what I do is edit the names and save them, I do this by the order I want them to be displayed, then they won't have spaces between and are ordered like I want

Note: We highly discourage users from manually modifying the order and numbers. We will not take any issues in connection with them. Also, the migration to sqlite will not work for you at all (that will happen in about 2-3 updates). You will habe to migrate manually or redo your dashboard. Just that you know what problems might appear

Yeah categories moving can sometimes be a little funky. We have a whole revamp of the drag and drop system planned on the roadmap in the future

If you're using another config, change the file to the config you're using
