I'm happy to help! I'm interested to see which triggers can't be moved. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your trigger panel and which triggers you're trying to move?
Each trigger is attached to an object, and the objects are sorted alphabetically. You can change the relative position of a trigger if an object has more than one trigger. Otherwise, you can change the name of the objects, and they will move up and down in the list.
Be aware that trigger order matters. but only among triggers that are initiated by the same action. Since yours are fired by clicks on different objects, there is no need to change their order.
Thank you Walt. I've been trying to figure this out forever. Staff, are there plans/requests to change this? Alphabetical order shouldn't have anything to do with trigger order. It seems like you should be able to move the order of trigger groups the same way you can individual triggers.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The order of the triggers only matters among those that are initiated by the same action. If you have a trigger that activates when the learner clicks Object1, and another that activates when the learner clicks Object2, there is no such thing as trigger order between those two. At least there isn't unless you have figured out a way to have them both clicked at the same time. It doesn't matter which Object is at the top of the list, what matters is that the triggers respond to the "When ..." part of what you create. That establishes the order that matters.
That said, there are two other considerations. If you have a number of triggers that have the same "When..." clause, then you can reorder them, because in that case, physical order does matter (A LOT). Otherwise, if the order offends your OCD sensibilities, or makes it difficult to find specific triggers, one thing that can help is to Group triggers, and collapse them.

It looks like these two triggers occur at different positions in the timeline. That is probably why you cannot move them using the arrows.
The trigger occurring when the timeline starts has to happen before the second trigger, which initiates when the timeline ends.
I'm having the same issue - it should be able to reorder as my triggers are based on user clicks not timeline.
Hi Nadia!

Hi there! I'm having the same issue. My triggers are based on click/jump to slide, but I'm unable to reorder them. Thanks!
