Sorting settings control the default order in which speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors appear in their respective directories. You can also group sponsors by membership category tier.
How to access: Dashboard → Settings → Event Settings → Sorting
[SCREENSHOT: Sorting category in Event Settings showing Speaker, Sponsor, and Exhibitor sorting toggles]
Toggle Speaker Sorting Setup on to sort the speaker directory alphabetically A-Z. Toggle off to display speakers in random order.
Toggle Sponsor Sorting Setup on for A-Z order. Toggle off for random order.
Group Sponsors By Category — a separate toggle that, when on, groups sponsors visually by membership tier (e.g., Platinum, Gold, Silver) rather than showing a flat list. Works with either random or A-Z sorting within each group.

Toggle Exhibitor Sorting Setup on for A-Z order. Toggle off for random order.
Q: Where do I control how speakers are featured on the home screen?
That's in App Layout settings, not Sorting. Look for "Recommended Speaker" under App Layout.
Q: Does Group Sponsors By Category affect the order within each group?
Yes — within each tier group, the sort order still respects the Sponsor Sorting toggle (A-Z or random).
Q: Does random sorting change every time the app loads?
Yes. Random order is re-shuffled on each page load, meaning no single sponsor, speaker, or exhibitor permanently appears first.
Q: How do I group sponsors by tier such as Platinum, Gold and Silver?
Turn on Group Sponsors By Category in the Sorting section. Sponsors are then grouped by membership tier instead of shown as a flat list.
