If you're looking for a way to control the exact order services and categories appear to customers, the current Speako dashboard doesn't offer drag-and-drop manual ordering. What it does offer are sort and view options that let you and your team quickly find what you're looking for within the dashboard itself — and some of these affect how things are grouped on your booking page.
Sorting services in the list
On the Services page, the service list has sortable columns. You can click any column header to sort the list:
- Service Name — alphabetical order (A–Z or Z–A)
- Category — groups services by their assigned category
- Duration — shortest to longest, or reverse
- Price — lowest to highest, or reverse
These sorts are view-level only — they change how the list appears to you in the dashboard, not the order services are shown to customers on your booking page.
💡 Tip: Sorting by Category is the fastest way to audit whether all your services have been assigned to the right group.
Sorting categories
On the Services → Categories page, you can sort categories using the sort options available:
- Alphabetical — categories listed A–Z
- Most services — categories with the most services first
- Recently added — newest categories at the top
- By color — groups categories by the colour you assigned
There's also a Search categories bar if you have many categories and want to find one quickly.
Like the service list sorts, these are dashboard view options. They don't determine the order your booking page presents categories.
Controlling the customer-facing order
If you need precise control over the order customers see services or categories on your booking page, the most reliable approach is naming conventions. Services and categories displayed alphabetically will naturally order themselves — so names starting with 1., A., or a logical sequence can be used to influence order.
Alternatively, if the grouping is more important than sequencing, focus on getting your categories set up correctly so customers can navigate by group rather than relying on a specific top-to-bottom order.
What this means in practice
For most businesses with a moderate number of services, the category structure matters more than the exact order. A customer looking for a Deep Tissue Massage will find it under Massages regardless of whether it's the first or third item in that category. Invest time in clear category names and accurate service names first.
