I have created a custom block,and it appears at the bottom of the page after all the other blocks. Is it possible to move it to the top? I wondered if 'weight'had something to do with it,and played around but could not seem to make anything happen. So what is the 'weight' box?
many thanks

The weight box dictates the location of a block in relation to the other blocks in the same area.

If all of your exisitng blocks have the default weight of 0 then any blocks you add with a weight of 0 will most likely just get shoved at the bottom.

Make sure that all exisiting blocks have a weighting, that may be the cause.

The higher the number, the further down the page the block should appear.

Also when making changes, make sure you clear your browser cache as your browser maybe showing you an older copy of your web page.

thanks for this advice - it has given me much more control - obvious when you think about it.

I did see your instructions, and I did add a weight number to each block, but the order still doesn't show the way I expect it to? Could it have something to do with that a few of the blocks are designated as 'left', some as 'center', and some as 'right'? Is this maybe overriding any weight changes that I make? Thanks for the help!
