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 State | Sort Order |
|---|---|
| Off | Random (shuffled on each load) |
| On | A-Z alphabetical by name |
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.
