Confluence Docs 3.0 : Moving Pages within a Space
This page last changed on Nov 19, 2008 by smaddox.
This page tells you how to move a page using a space's 'Tree' view. This method allows you to move a page, or a family of pages, within a space. Alternatively, you can move a page to a new position or to a new space while in edit mode — see Moving a Page. To move a page, you need the following permissions:
When you move a page, its children will move as well. On this page: About the Sequential Order of PagesConfluence allows you to present your pages in any order (sequence) you choose. The position of a page is reflected in the following places:
Alphabetical versus Manual OrderBy default, Confluence will present your pages in alphabetical order. When you move a page to a different position, the order becomes manual for the affected page family.
Now let's consider what happens when you add a page to a page family, by creating a new page or by moving or copying a page into the family:
Changing the Page OrderYou can change the order of the pages by moving pages within the page family — simply move the page to its new position while editing the page (see Moving a Page) or while viewing pages in the space's 'Tree' view (see Moving Pages within a Space). You can also change the order of a page-family from manual to alphabetical (see the 'Setting Page Order to Alphabetical' section on Setting a Page Family to Alphabetical Order).

Setting Page Order to AlphabeticalIf the pages in a page family have been ordered manually, you can reset the page order to alphabetical as described below. A page family is a set of pages under a single parent page. In this section, when we say 'page family' we mean the immediate children of the parent page, not including the grand-children. The screenshot below shows a family of pages in non-alphabetical order under the parent 'Sample Page'. Notice the Screenshot: A family of pages in non-alphabetical order with 'Sort Alphabetically' icon

If you change your mind, you can click the 'Undo Sorting' icon Troubleshooting
