Not a developer - superuser able to create a new set, reorder entries, but not publish to the site
Several months ago a developer set up Low Reorder for me and I was successful in setting up three new sets based on categories on the FAQ page. I reordered entries and saved each set - but my changes are not being published to the website (alephcloud.com/products/faqs).

Here is the ordering space using Low Reorder:
Here is what is displaying on the website:

Most likely, you need to point the tag in the template to the right Low Reorder Set. What's the code in that template now? You can use http://pastie.org/ or http://pastebin.com/ for large chunks of code.

I think you may be right. Here is the code from a page (http://www.alephcloud.com/company) where Low Reorder is working properly:
Executive Team
{exp:low_reorder:entries set="executive" limit="200" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks" channel="team" dynamic="no"}
{title}{if team-title !=""}, {team-title}{/if}
{team-bio}
{/exp:low_reorder:entries}
It looks as if there's an entry that calls the set and then later a line that displays the items. I don't have a developer at the moment to add the code in the right place so I guess I'd better try and figure out how EE handles ordering in the absence of a module like Low Reorder.
Thank you very much for your help!

You should be able to just swap the channel:entries tag with the low_reorder:entries tag, and add the set="" parameter, which should result in the entries in the right order.

I'll give it a try - the only tricky thing is that this is a page that uses a common template with other pages so I need to find where the code is located. Stay tuned and I'll let you know how it goes.

Victoria, I removed your last reply, because it contained login credentials. Be aware that this is a public forum, so anyone could just access this data and login to your site.
Also, If you're having trouble implementing Low Reorder, then you're probably better off just hiring a developer to do it for you. This support is mainly for troubleshooting and bugfixes.

Thank you for that info - I had in fact forgotten about that fact that this is a public forum and I've cancelled that login. I've been through a few developers but haven't found anyone who has what I need.
