Left Navigation
Your site’s left navigation is automatically generated from the hierarchy and order of the folders within the Site content menu. This type of navigation is called dynamic navigation because it’s automatically generated and updated.

Dynamic Left Navigation
Folders within the Site Content menu, as well as assets within a folder can be reordered as needed, which will in turn reorder the site's navigation order.
The text that appears in your site's left navigation depends on what you enter into the Display Name field when you create a folder. In contrast to the Folder Name, you could include capital letters, special characters, and spaces in the Display Name.
Each folder also has a setting that allows it to be included in the left navigation. Selecting No will hide the folder from the left navigation.
How to Edit the Left Navigation Order
1. Select a folder within the Site Content menu by hovering over the asset name and clicking on the arrow that appears to the right of the name. The contents of that folder will display on the right hand side of the window, ordered alphabetically by their system name.
2. Click on the heading of the second column titled Order. Toggle the display of the folder items between ascending or descending numerical order.
3. To move an item, click-and-drag it to the appropriate place.
4. The order will be automatically applied, however, the folder that’s been reordered should be published to reflect the changes on the live site.
After reordering your folders, make sure to Publish the parent folder and all its sub-folders. This will ensure that all pages on your site that include the reordered left navigation will display the new order.
