There are 3 different ways to re-order your custom sidebar blocks:
  • Board Index :: Standard Blocks :: You can change the order position of the custom blocks relative to the other "standard" blocks by going to ACP->Manage Hooks and using the drag/drop feature to drag the Custom Sidebar Blocks hook above/below other index sidebar block hooks.
  • Board Index :: Other Custom Blocks :: You can change the order position of the custom blocks by going to ACP->Other Apps->Custom Sidebar Blocks->Manage Blocks and using the drag/drop feature to change the position of each block.
  • Portal :: You can choose to either place the custom blocks below or above the other blocks on the portal by going to ACP->Other Apps->Custom Sidebar Blocks->Manage Settings and changing the "Placement" setting to either above or below.
  • NEW: With CSB 2.0+, you have complete control over the block ordering. If you want to break up your custom blocks, like put one on top, put one on bottom, and leave the default IPB blocks in the middle, you can do that by clicking the new Export Block button from a row on the ACP->Other Apps->Custom Sidebar Blocks->Manage Blocks page. That will send you a unique hook xml file which you can then import from ACP->Manage Hooks. Once it is installed, you can do the same thing you do in #1 above, except instead of having to move ALL blocks, you can move just that one. Lastly, you'll want to edit the Custom Block and enable the "Hide From Main Custom Block" setting so that it isn't displayed twice.

edited in a fourth way, since CSB 2.0 is released!
