📹 How To Re-Order & Shuffle Posts In Your Queue

Changes to Facebook Groups Publishing

Facebook unexpectedly decided to remove Groups API access, preventing any third-party tools, including SmarterQueue, from interacting with your Facebook Groups. After April 22nd, 2024, SmarterQueue will no longer be able to publish directly to groups you manage. You can still schedule posts for these groups, but will receive email notifications for easy manual posting instead. You may also wish to consider transitioning to a Facebook Page for better engagement.

Sometimes you may want to make adjustments to the order of scheduled posts in the Queue. You can do so by manually re-ordering, or shuffling your posts!

How To Re-Order Posts Manually

1. Navigate to the Queue and ensure you're in 'List' view

2. When viewing the posts in your Queue,you will see a cross-arrows icon next to each post

3. Click on the cross-arrows next to the post you'd like to reorder. This will automatically filter your Queue for the right Profile and Category combination or Sub-Queue

Note:  If you see a pin instead of a cross-arrow icon next to a post, that post is scheduled for a specific date and time or set as a recurring post.  These can't be moved within the Queue, but you will be able to click on the pencil icon to edit them and change when they will be published. 

4. You can now drag-and-drop posts within this Sub-Queue to a new order 🎉 

The order you drag the posts to will be the order in which they are published to your selected Profiles 😊  

5. If you'd like to send a post to either the top or bottom of your Queue, please check out these helpful articles to learn how!

How To Shuffle Posts In Your Queue

Note : Shuffling will only affect posts that are scheduled to Timeslots in your Posting Plan. It will not re-order posts that you have scheduled for a specific date and time. 

2. A pop-up confirmation window will appear and you can let fate decide the order of your posts! 🎲

💡 Make sure to use the filters on the left to view only the single Profile or Category Sub-Queue that you want to shuffle.
