@KeiiDesserts It’s kind of hidden, and not intuitive, but it’s there.  You can arrange your categories in the order you want them to show up in this menu. To do that, in your editor, touch on Item List in the left-hand list.  That will bring up this screen.  Click on “Arrange and add items” circled in red.  That will bring up the second screen below.  To rearrange categories, click on the dot array next to the category you want to move up or down.

 

Also if you click on Content, that will open up a list of lots of other things you can change about the Categories menu as well as change how Items are displayed (title, price, etc).

 

If I guessed wrong and you want to change something else, I’d have to know what change you want to make so that I can help you with that.

Was my post helpful? Take a moment to mark it as a possible "best answer." I hate the term, and wish we could just mark posts as "helpful." But this is our only mechanism at the moment. Just remember "Best answer" should be interpreted as "helpful," and nothing more. LOL. "Best" (ugh) answers help folks possibly find solutions to similar problems they are hoping to solve.

I didnt realize that if the Item in the category has no inventory, it will not show. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Is there a way to arrange the categories in the POS?  It's currently listed in alphabetical order but I'd like to arrange it differently.

Hey @thetableatrez,

 

Thanks for reaching out. What kind of Square Hardware are you using, and can you provide a screenshot of the categories you would like to be organized?

 

I look forward to your reply.
